Summary:This text seeks to clarify some aspects of the Bergsonian interpretation of Aristotle, mainly the ones in which Bergson considers Aristotle an eminent representative of the Philosophy of Forms. Bergson’s reading seeks to show that there is no meaningful difference between Aristotle and Plato, insofar as both are committed to the foundation of knowledge based on Parmenides’ immobilist ontology. In this way, the Aristotelian categorial framework and the ontological principle of the Form of Forms, or Pure Form, try to find a solution to the Parmenidean aporia by referring immobility to the logical oddity of knowledge, or objectivity to the knowledge of existences in their logical nature.
