Presents a full study of a key feature of Aristotle's philosophical and scientific investigations: his concern with the homonymy of certain concepts, that is, with the fact that a single concept stands for a multiplicity of kinds of thing. The author examines how Aristotle seeks order within this multiplicity, in a variety of areas of inquiry.
