Synopsis
"This volume is an impressive tour de force. It is state-of-the-art Aristotle: it employs the most recent philological, philosophical, and logical advances which since the 1970â s at least have rendered previous translations and commentaries obsolete. The translation is the first to take account of the recent epistemically orientated natural-deduction approach, which restores Aristotleâ s reputation as a consummate logician and reveals much more of Aristotleâ s method than previous approaches. Every page of Robin Smithâ s commentary shows extensive learning, taste, imagination, and skill. . . . An important and lasting contribution, not only to Aristotle scholarship and to the history of logic, but also to the history of philosophy itself." --John Corcoran, SUNY Buffalo

Présentation de l'éditeur
The Greek philosopher Aristotle is one of the founding figures in Western philosophy. His writings cover a multitude of subjects from physics, poetry, theater, music, politics, science and gods. His writings are the earliest known use of formal logic which was latter incorporated into modern logic in the 19th century. Aristotle's philosophy is still the object of academic study and research even to this day, even as a large portion of his works have been lost over the century's. We can only wonder what treasures have been lost to time as we read his masterpieces.

Original cloth. Etat : Sehr gut. XXXI, 262 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slight staining on bottom edge, otherwise very good and clean. / Leichte Anschmutzung auf Fußschnitt, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - INTRODUCTION: The Content of the Prior Analytics. From Aristotles viewpoint, the Prior Analytics is simply the first part of the Analytics', the second part is the work known to us as the Posterior Analytics. The subject of the latter is proof or demonstration (apodeixis), that is, argumentation which produces scientific understanding (episteme). Aristotle makes it clear from the start that this is also the subject of the entire Analytics, and thus of its first part, the Prior. Aristotle conceives of a demonstrative science as a system of demonstrations, which in turn are a type of deduction (sullogismos). Accordingly, the Prior Analytics gives an account of deductions in general and the Posterior discusses the specific character of those deductions which are demonstrations. Although the relationship of the two parts of the Analytics appears to be straightforward enough on this account, controversies have arisen about its details and its history. In many respects, the Prior Analytics is the more highly developed work: in the Posterior, Aristotle often seems ignorant of technical results contained in it. Some scholars have argued that the philosophical environments of the two parts are also different. To mention the most important such study, Friedrich Solmsen undertook to recover the course of historical development of Aristotles logical doctrines using Jaegers view that Aristotle evolved from an early Platonic stance in philosophy to a mature position hostile to Platonism. He concluded that the Posterior Analytics was the earlier work and that it reflected a more primitive stage of the theory of deduction than that found in the Prior. Controversy about this point is still not ended. At issue here are two points. ISBN 9780872200654 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 576. N° de réf. du vendeur 1185223
