“that there.” The genuine criteria of thereness: being encountered and appearing thus.
How the connection with ὂν ὡς ἀληθές: a special how of the discoveredness of determinate λέγειν, λόγος. More precisely, Nic Eth Ζ! What is precisely Greek, that this how of being itself becomes explicit in special (circumstances?). From out of it alone, in particular, access to the there.
Cf. Z 3 (Comment [on] p. 66.): οἷς ὥρισται τὸ ὄν.209 Here, in particular, perspicuous how they “emerge” from λόγος, are in it as the how of discoveredness, but precisely that in the full sense. Ὕλη goes over them and away!210
Cf. Z 4 (Comment [on] p. 65f.): that there-characters, possibilities of being-in, carry the names (cf. Bogen, “Kategorien”: πτώσεις, διαιρέσεις)211 of awarding to, attributing to as found already in itself, the character of found already (finding in advance) constituting in the moment, there-character, i.e., forming sight!
Supplement 4
Categories
Λόγος decisive field of genuine problematic of being. Plato and those earlier than him did not see λέγειν τι κατά τινος by contrast with καθ’ αὕτὸ λέγειν, and the latter itself they did not see in its fundamental structure.
However, this comes to expression in the categories. Consequently, the fact that the categories lead ontological investigation already early on and in a fundamental way means that a new and genuine understanding of the problematic of being is obtained, obtained from: 1. being produced (therein 2. is precisely not apprehendable!), 2. εἶδος as “appearing.” Cf. the narrow context for understanding the ontology of becoming, i.e., physics.
Already the name of the categories emphasizes the explicit importance of Λόγος-fixation, and lays stress on awarding to, attributing to, καθ’ αὑτά, thus at one with the primary articulation of the context of the categories—οὐσία as πρῶτον. This means that everything is further determined hermeneutically by the experience of being-there implicit in οὐσία. For Aristotle, derivation and number and the like are entirely secondary aspects, and are sought from and carried over from entirely foreign tendencies of a systematic, and thus are not discoverable! It is a matter of the concrete possibility of research, not of a “doctrine of categories,” which is always physicalist. Aristotle does not treat
