Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the category of quality presented in the writings of one of the great philosophers of Antiquity, Aristotle. Categories have long been the focus of philosophers' attention. Later, due to the differentiation of sciences, categories have become the focus of attention of scientists from other fields. In this regard, the doctrine of categories has acquired an interdisciplinary character, which, accordingly, determines the relevance of this study, since modern science focuses on interdisciplinarity.
