Resumo: Aristotle formulates in Metaphysics M.9 an aporia about Forms, according to which, those who introduce Forms make them universal substances and, at the same time, separate entities and, hence, particulars. But, he claims, it is not possible that both attributes, being a universal and being a particular, inhere in the same thing. The interpretation that scholars have offered of this objection is external, in that they hold that it derives from Aristotle’s own conception of separation: only what is particular is separate. Here I defend an internal interpretation which claims that the objection derives from an assumption about the explanatory role of Forms that Aristotle attributes to the Platonists.

Pero, sostiene, no es posible que ambos atributos, ser universal y particular, se den en la misma cosa. La interpretación que los especialistas han defendido de esta objeción es externa, en tanto que sostienen que se deriva de la propia concepción aristotélica de la separación: solo lo que es particular está separado. Aquí defiendo una interpretación interna que afirma que la objeción se deriva de un supuesto sobre el rol explicativo de las Formas que Aristóteles le atribuye a los platónicos.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2020-10-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigoshttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/3457210.14195/1984-249X_30_30Revista Archai; No. 30 (2020): Archai 30 (2020 [3]); e03030Archai Journal; n. 30 (2020): Archai 30 (2020 [3]); e030301984-249X2179-496010.14195/1984-249X_30reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBspahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/34572/27709Copyright (c) 2020 Edgar González-Varelahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonzález-Varela, Edgar2020-10-04T20:58:56Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/34572Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2020-10-04T20:58:56Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
