Aristotle - Categories - Ch. 15 - On Types of "Having"

Chapter 15 is a short listing of the ways in which the word "having" can be used. This is not a complete list, as he says "Some further ways of having might perhaps come to light, but we have made a pretty complete enumeration of those commonly spoken of." 

There is: 

1) Having in terms of quality - He refers back to chapter 8 on quality and the difference between state and condition. This would be a type of having a virtue, like temperance. 

2) Having in terms of quantity - This, of course, refers to continuous or discreet bodies, such as having a certain length. 

3) Having in terms of possession on the body - This would be having something on the body, like clothes or jewelry. 

4) Having in terms of a part - This would be having some part in relation to the whole, like a hand to the body. 

5) Having in terms of a possession not on the body - This could be having some type of relation or property, like a wife or land. 

Aristotle’s Categories Chapter 15

15°17. Having is spoken of in a number of ways: having as a state and condition or some other quality (we are said to have knowledge and virtue); or as a quantity, like the height someone may have (he is said to have a height of five feet or six feet); or as things on the body, like a cloak or tunic; or as on a part, like a ring on a hand; or as a part, like a hand or foot; or as in a container, as with the measure of wheat or the jar of wine (for the jar is said to have wine, and the measure wheat, so these are said to have as in a container); or as a possession (for we are said to have a house and a field). One is also said to have a wife, and a wife a husband, but this seems to be a very strange way of ‘having’, since by ‘having a wife’ we signify nothing other than that he is married to her. Some further ways of having might perhaps come to light, but we have made a pretty complete enumeration of those commonly spoken of.
