Otfried Höffe on Aristotle - Dictionary of Arguments

Höffe I 51
Aristotle/Höffe: Many of the ((s) Aristotelian] terms, such as the distinction between matter and form, between reality ("act") and possibility ("potency") or between theory, practice and poiesis ("technique") become an integral part of the Western world orientation via the Latin translation. Because they have long since penetrated the general educational system, it is easy to overlook the extraordinary effort of thought they owe to.

>Poiesis, >Techne.
Concept formation: Aristotle's technical terms are often taken from questions;
Categories/Aristoteles: for the categories he says
- ti: what,
- poson: how big,
- poion: which kind,
- poû: where;
Motion: in the principles of motion, he speaks of what, from what, where and for what purpose. In any case, he does not seek a philosophical language of art, but rather the specification and differentiation, occasionally also the further development of expressions familiar from colloquial language.
>Everyday language.
Scholasticism: In this way he argues, unlike the later Aristotle scholasticism, in a mobile, thoroughly non-solastic diction.
>Scholasticism.
