Problema identităţii la Aristotel
Aristotle's Problem of Identity

Summary/Abstract: This paper is intended to provide a short analysis of the consistency between the definition of the identity and the use of the concept in some Aristotelian works (Metaphysics, Physics, Organon). It is shown that this kind of proceeding may reveal new interesting things about Aristotle's conception. Some local interpretations are proposed just in order to illustrate how the concept of identity, as defined by Aristotle himself, works in completely different topics (logical and ontological as well) whose treatment can be easily understood this way. An alternative manner of giving an account of Aristotle's conception about identity is suggested in the end of the paper.
