  Genitive case
The genitive case is a grammatical case that indicates a relationship, primarily one of possession, between the noun in the genitive case and another noun.
A distinct partitive case is used in the languages supporting it.
These are sometimes not identified as the genitive case, and in many instances are not marked with the apostrophe, but these usages demonstrate use of nouns in the genitive case as adverbs in the Germanic language, indicating the time when the events described happen.

This may be due to the fact that these works were not, in most cases, published by Aristotle himself or during his lifetime, but were edited after his death from unfinished manuscripts.
We are also struck by the apparent contradiction in his claims that science deals with universal concepts, and substance is declared to be an individual.
