Revista de Humanidades de Valparaíso

En este documento, presento una interpretación general de los Primeros y Segundos Analíticos de Aristóteles que podría expresar, para decirlo en pocas palabras, el punto de vista de que los Analíticos de Aristóteles son analíticos. Es decir, no establecen procesos progresivos o constructivos, en los que, dadas ciertas premisas, términos o reglas fundamentales, uno podría avanzar y sacar conclusiones o incluso construir un cuerpo sistemático de conocimiento sobre la base de estos principios. Más bien, describen un retroceso, a partir de una conclusión propuesta o provisional y preguntando qué premisas podrían (o podrían mejor) ser utilizadas para deducir, apoyar, probar o explicar.

Review of Striker's 2009 Oxford UP translation of Aristotle's Prior Analytics I

The author of this translation and commentary, is a prolific and respected scholar, a leading figure in a large and still rapidly growing area of scholarship: Prior Analytics studies PAS. PAS treats many aspects of Aristotle's Prior Analytics: historical context, previous writings that influenced it, preservation and transmission of its manuscripts, editions of its manuscripts, interpretations, commentaries, translations, and its influence on subsequent logic, philosophy, and mathematics. All this attention is warranted because Prior Analytics marks the origin of logic: the field that, among other things, asks of a given proposition whether it follows from a given set of propositions; and, if it follows, how we determine that it follows; and, if it does not follow, how we determine that it does not follow. Striker is currently Professor of Philosophy and Classics at Harvard University. Her doctoral supervisor was Günther Patzig, the most noted German scholar in this area. His im...

The Posterior Analytics undertakes to analyze what science is, and how to use language, logos, as an instrument, an organon, to formulate and express it. In the Posterior Analytics Aristotle thus answers the question raised in the Theatetus: What is επιστήμη, science? Aristotle’s answer is we have genuine science, επιστήμη, when we can state in precise language not only that things are so, ότι, but also why they are as they are, διότι, and why they have to be that way. We possess science when we can prove and demonstrate statements about things and states of affairs by relating those statements to other statements of which they are the necessary consequences.

Prior Analytics and Aristotle\u27s Commitment to Logos

1996

Prior Analytics describes a natural deduction system as part of an underlying logic. It is a proof-theoretic treatise concerned principally to establish and to perfect a deduction system for science. Aristotle knew that deductions about matters pertaining to a given subject matter are content specific and that they employ a topic neutral deduction system; such a system makes evident that given sentences logically follow from other given sentences. One process of deduction is accomplished through taking pairs of given categorical sentences to generate immediate inferences according to prescribed rules, which categorical inferences are then added to the given sentences and then again taken in pairs, to wit, syllogistically, until a final conclusion is obtained (see esp. A25). This process is treated in Prior Analytics in an exactly analogous fashion as chaining immediate inferences by using rules of propositional logic

Posterior Analytics and the Endoxic Method in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics VII

Eirene. Studia Graeca Et Latina, 2022

This paper revisits Aristotle’s discussion of akrasia in NE VII. 1–10. I try to offer a scientific reading of the book, according to which NE VII. 1–10 closely instantiates the main guidelines of Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics. I propose that NE VII. 1–2, which aims to establish the fact that akrasia exists, corresponds to the ὅτι-stage of an Aristotelian scientific inquiry, and NE VII. 3–10, which aims to explain both the cause and the object of akrasia, corresponds to the διότι-stage of the inquiry.
