Isn't this the same thing as the Horoi? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.184.165.20 (talk) 02:46, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- Quite obviously. The only thing Horoi is missing are the links to the translation available online. Furthermore the two articles are categorized into different sections of Template:Plato navbox - this has to be resolved too. -- Gymel (talk) 11:08, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
- It appears that the concept of "definition" or horoi is not exactly about defining a term like in the dictionary since it could be more complicated than that. Aristotle described it as a basic aim of the dialectical process and outlined five parts concerning its treatment.[1] The philosopher Philoponus also cited the concept of terms (horoi) and it was part of his classification of the divine forms. Perhaps these should be taken into consideration when describing this Definitions document as a "dictionary". Darwin Naz (talk) 00:25, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
