Description
Book SynopsisA translation that intends to take account of the epistemically orientated natural-deduction approach, which restores Aristotle's reputation as a consummate logician and reveals Aristotle's method. It contributes not only to Aristotle scholarship and to the history of logic, but also to the history of philosophy itself.
Trade Review"The translator has adhered to the recent tendency in Aristotle translations to translate Greek technical terms with one-to-one English equivalents as far as possible. This enables the Greekless reader to independently assess Aristotle's variations in terminology. Debatable points of translation and general interpretation are taken up by the translator in an extensive commentary. Such commentary is essential for any nonspecialist attempting to read the Prior Analytics. . . . A substantial twenty-page Introduction provides an overview of Aristotle's logic from the point of view of the recent literature. It is an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to gain an up-to-date perspective on this scholarship. . . . This is the volume that contemporary logicians should and will reach for when they want to learn about the origin of their field." --Michael Scanlan,
