Order in Multiplicity: Homonymy in the Philosophy of Aristotle (Oxford Aristotle Studies Series) Book

Aristotle attaches particular significance to the homomyny of many of the central concepts in philosophy and science: that is, to the diversity of ways of being that are denoted by a single concept.
