This volume deals with 13th-century interpretations of Aristotle’s "Categories", providing at the same time an introduction to some main themes of medieval philosophical logic. The last two chapters provide a systematic introduction to Scotus’s commentary on Aristotle’s treatise.

The purpose of this monograph, which is aimed at the graduate level and beyond, is to obtain a deeper understanding of Quillen’s model categories. A model category is a category together with three distinguished classes of maps, called weak equivalences, cofibrations, and fibrations. Model categories have become a standard tool in algebraic topology and homological algebra and, increasingly, in other fields where homotopy theoretic ideas are becoming important, such as algebraic $K$-theory and algebraic geometry. The authors’ approach is to define the notion of a homotopical catego

Expressions which are in no way composite signify substance, quantity, quality, relation, place, time, position, state, action, or affection. To sketch my meaning roughly, examples of substance are ’man’ or ’the horse’, of quantity, such terms as ’two cubits long’ or ’three cubits long’, of quality, such attributes as ’white’, ’grammatical’. ’Double’, ’half’, ’greater’, fall under the category of relation; ’in a the market place’, ’in the Lyceum’.

The concept of an ontological category is central to metaphysics. Metaphysicians argue about which category of existence an object should be assigned to, whether one category can be reduced to another one, or whether there might be different equally adequate systems of categorization. Answers to these questions presuppose a clear understanding of what precisely an ontological category is, and Jan Westerhoff now provides the first in-depth analysis. After examining a variety of attempted definitions, he proceeds to argue for a new understanding of ontological categories, according to which they

The Aufklarung, as the Aufklarung generally, means the " discrepancies" — that, whatever it is that, in the Bible, let it be Old or let it be New, checks—for instance, the Miracle of the Swine.

This book studies the universal constructions and properties in categories of commutative algebras, bringing out the specific properties that make commutative algebra and algebraic geometry work. Two universal constructions are presented and used here for the first time. The author shows that the concepts and constructions arising in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry are not bound so tightly to the absolute universe of rings, but possess a universality that is independent of them and can be interpreted in various categories of discourse. This brings new flexibility to classical commut
