This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, the Categories, focusing on his discussion in chapter 7 of whether relations admit of contraries and degrees. His view is that some relational terms can be contraries or admit of degrees, but that others do not, so that neither contrariness nor degrees are essential to relations
