Abstract

81 On Ancient and Mediaeval Semantics and Metaphysics (2) * L. M. DE RIJK 3 The Multiplication of Being in Aristotle's Categories 3.1 Intyoduction _ ne of the results of the preceding section may be that Lloyd 0 (1956, 59) seems to be wrong in asserting that in Plato's view the role of the universal is played by the Idea exclusively, and that only by the time of the Middle Academy, that is, for the Platonists of the first two centuries A.D., the performers of this role have been multiplied. As a matter of fact the distinction between Plato and his followers of the Middle Academy on this score would seem to be a different one. The ontological problems of participation were felt as early as in the Platonic dialogues (see our section 2), as well as the logical ones concerning predication (which will be discussed in a later section).
