After such preliminaries, Aristotle proceeds[28] to give the enumeration of his Ten Categories or Predicaments; under one or other of which, every subject or predicate, considered as capable of entering into a proposition, must belong: 1. _Essence_ or _Substance_; such as, man, horse. 2. _How much_ or _Quantity_; such as, two cubits long, three cubits long. 3. _What manner of_ or _Quality_; such as, white, erudite. 4. _Ad aliquid_--_To something_ or _Relation_; such as, double, half, greater. 5. _Where_; such as, in the market-place, in the Lykeium. 6. _When_; such as, yesterday, last year. 7. _In what posture_; such as, he stands up, he is sitting down. 8. _To have_; such as, to be shod, to be armed. 9. _Activity_; such as, he is cutting, he is turning. 10. _Passivity_; such as, he is being cut, he is being burned. [Footnote 28: Ibid. p. 1, b. 25, seq.] _Ens_ in its complete state--concrete, individual, determinate-- includes an embodiment of all these ten Categories; the First _Ens_ being the Subject of which the rest are predicates. Whatever question be asked respecting any individual Subject, the information given in the answer must fall, according to Aristotle, under one or more of these ten general heads; while the full outfit of the individual will comprise some predicate under each of them. Moreover, each of the ten is a _Generalissimum_; having more or fewer species contained under it, but not being itself contained under any larger genus (_Ens_ not being a genus) So that Aristotle does not attempt to define or describe any one of the ten; his only way of explaining is by citing two or three illustrative examples of each. Some of the ten are even of wider extent than _Summa Genera_; thus, Quality cannot be considered as a true genus, comprehending generically all the cases falling under it. It is a _Summum Analogon_, reaching beyond the comprehension of a genus; an analogous or multivocal name, applied to many cases vaguely and remotely akin to each other.[29] And again the same particular predicate may be ranked both under Quality and under Relation; it need not belong exclusively to either one of them.[30] Moreover, Good, like _Ens_ or _Unum_, is common to all the Categories, but is differently represented in each.[31] [Footnote 29: Aristot. Categor. p. 8, b. 26. [Greek: e)/sti de\ ê( poio/tês tô=n pleonachô=s legome/nôn], &c. See the Scholia, p. 68, b. 69 a., Brandis. Ammonius gives the true explanation of this phrase, [Greek: tô=n pleonachô=s legome/nôn] (p. 69, b. 7). Alexander and Simplikius try to make out that it implies here a [Greek: sunô/nomon].] [Footnote 30: Aristot. Categor. p. 11, a. 37.
