Об авиценновской рецепции «Категорий» Аристотеля (гл. I–IV)

The article is the first part of a study regarding the problem of the re-edition of Aristotle’s Categories in the work “The Healing” ( ash-Shifa’ ) by the greatest philosopher of classical Islam, Ibn Sina (Avicenna; d. 1037). It shows the ways and approaches by Avicenna to revisit the epistemological status of the Categories , as well as his approach to “ontologize” and “delogicisize” the problems of categories. Also, the authors provide an analysis of how Avicenna re-worked the Aristotelian prologue (chapters 1–4), sometimes is referred to as the Pre-Predicamenta. The analysis includes as follows: semantics of various types of words, four-fold division (“ontological square”), ten-fold division and its justification.
