Ontology and logic in Byzantium. Photius I of Constantinople and the distinction between the terms “man” and “humanity” - 2018.
17
The ninth-century Byzantine thinker Photius dedicated several short treatises to the Categories, commenting successively on nine out of the ten Aristotelian categories. He has also devoted two short texts—the Amphilochia 27 and 230—to the question of predication. In these treatises, he inquires about the specific mode of predication of the terms “man” and “humanity,” discussing especially the referent of these terms. His considerations include several theses related to his commitment to a particularist ontology.
