Abstract
Here is expounded an interpretation of Aristotle’s study of tò sumbebekós contained in Metaphysics VI 2-3. This interpretation starts from the examination of the notion of stéresis and deals with the modality of contingency named tò endekhómenon, trying thus to face up to the statement according to which “it is necessary that there is the katà sumbebekós being” with a view to grasping it not as a doctrine but as something thought in an essential way by a Greek philosopher.
