Essentialism in the Categories
According to the Categories, predicates can be ‘said of’ their subjects or they can be ‘present in’ their subjects.

Итог: | According to the Categories, predicates can be ‘said of’ their subjects or they can be ‘present in’ their subjects. The said-of relation has received relatively little scholarly attention, and scholars disagree on the answers to four foundational questions about the relation. (i) What is it?

On this account, said-of is an essential relation and it is definable, but it is not defined in terms of predication. |
