Description
I Some Puzzles about Human Capacities By combining specific claims that Aristotle makes about human nature and capacities with other claims about substances, two aporiai arise that require an investigation and if possible, a resolution. The general issue to be taken up concerns whether the term 'human' or the characteristic of being human is synonymous, or said in the same way, across various social and political groups (Greek, barbarian, free, slave, man, woman, etc.). (1) While the answer might seem obvious given the supposition that human is a univocal characteristic, the textual support for this view is neither clear nor consistent. As a consequence, we need to weigh whether the term should be considered to refer to a univocal characteristic shared among human beings (be synonymous) or to a non-identical characteristic (be homonymous). In this section, I shall describe the two problems briefly and give an explanation why I take them to be difficulties that merit attention.
