Desirous about the that means and serve as of ideas in an period that looks to have given up on their threat altogether, Christopher P. lengthy lines the trails of Aristotle's pondering bearing on finite being from the kinds, in the course of the Physics, to the Metaphysics, and finally into the Nicomachean Ethics. lengthy argues dynamic and open belief of ideas emerges in those works that demanding situations the conventional tendency to hunt protection in everlasting and everlasting absolutes. He rethinks the which means of Aristotle's suggestion of precept (arche) and spans the divide of analytic and continental methodological methods to old Greek philosophy, whereas connecting Aristotle's pondering to that of Levinas, Gadamer, and Heidegger.

Finally, however, the hylomorphic economy of kinetic principles itself gives rise to a number of intractable ontological puzzles that require the introduction of yet another economy designed to account for the being of finite sensible ousia. Chief among these puzzles is the so-called universal/singular aporia, which concerns the nature of the ontological principles themselves. Briefly stated, in order to account for both the continuity of substantial change and the possibility of knowledge, it seems necessary to posit the principle as being in some sense permanent and universal, applying to a plurality of beings in the same way.
On the one hand, the hypokeimenon establishes the distinction between the primary beings and their accidental properties. On the other hand, it serves as the ultimate foundation for a hierarchy of more generic concepts known as “secondary ousiai” that serve to delineate the more universal nature of the primary things. Let us call the mode of thought that deploys such an economy of principles “foundational,” designating by this term a thinking that seeks stability and order in the constant presence of ultimate underlying principles.
Thus the most decisive limitation of the economy of principles operating in the Categories lies in its need to posit the synchronic identity of atomic individuals in order to secure firm ontological footing. Due to this limitation, Aristotle employs a strategy of evasion on two levels. First, he denies the possibility that secondary ousiai can be considered “thisses” in order to secure the primary ontological status of common objects of experience. Thus although the possibility that there may be a mutually determining relationship between primary and secondary ousiai is suggested, it is mentioned only to be explic- Foundational Thinking and the Categories 29 itly denied.
