Description

The Logic of Essentialism provides a comprehensive survey of interpretations of Aristotle's Modal Syllogistic across ancient, medieval and modern scholarship. This scholarly work presents a unified framework for comparing and evaluating competing interpretations whilst developing a new reading that aligns closely with Aristotle's own text, methods of proof and illustrative examples. The book adopts a de re reading of Aristotle's modal sentences and emphasises the importance of ecthesis and counter-examples in his logical system. It includes formal semantic analysis that operates independently of possible worlds frameworks, offering philosophers and classicists a rigorous examination of one of history's most influential logical systems. Suitable for advanced students and specialists in history of logic and ancient philosophy.
