亚里士多德的类比概念是其哲学体系中的一个重要概念,它是亚里士多德的相对独立的各个理论之间的枢纽。在《形而上学》(?)卷第6章中,类比在把潜能和现实概念从运动领域运用到实体领域以及在对潜能和现实的相互说明中都起到关键的疏通作用。在A卷4-5中,亚里士多德既用类比填补了万物本原理论与实体理论之间的罅隙,也指出潜能和现实只有在类比的意义上才是万物的本原。通过类比,他融贯了自己的若干哲学理论。 Aristotle’s concept of analogy is an important concept in his philosophical system. It is the hinge between Aristotle’s relatively independent theories. In Chapter 6 of “Metaphysics”, analogies play a key role in unblocking the concept of potential and reality from the realm of action to the realm of reality and in the mutual explanation of potential and reality. In A 4-5, Aristotle filled the gap between the primitive theory of matter and the substantive theory by analogy, and pointed out that potential and reality are the origin of all things only in the sense of analogy. Through analogy, he coined a number of his own philosophical theory.
