Herminos
Herminos ( Greek Ἑρμῖνος Hermínos , Latinized Herminus ; * around 115/120) was an ancient Greek philosopher . He belonged to the peripatetic branch .
It is reported about Herminos that he was a student of Aspasius and one of the teachers of Alexander von Aphrodisias , who quotes him in his commentary on the topic (569, 3–5).
A reference to Herminos can be found in Boethius ' commentary on De interpretatione (39, 25ff.), Where it is reported that for Herminos the meaning of a statement can be different for different people. In the commentary of the Simplikio on the categories (CAG 11, 13-18), the view is ascribed to him that the purpose of the categories both in the designation of simple linguistic expressions and in the designation of things and finally also of terms, but not in the Description of grammatical structures lie. A similar statement can be found in Porphyry's commentary on the categories (59, 10–17).
