Main Article Content
Abstract
We present here a bilingual and complete translation of the fragments of On the Ideas (ΠΕΡΙ ΙΔΕΩΝ) - a book in which Aristotle would have for the first time exposed a formal critique of the "Platonic" arguments (among which he himself is included) in favor of the existence of ideas, and of which remains only what has (fortunately) been preserved by the peripatetic philosopher Alexander of Aphrodisias in his Commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics.
Translation, introduction and notes: Irley F. Franco and Renato Matoso Brandão.
