Description

Explore a deep examination of ancient, medieval, and modern interpretations of Aristotle's Modal Syllogistic in The Logic of Essentialism. This scholarly work provides a structured framework to compare and evaluate competing theories within the field of philosophy. As part of The New Synthese Historical Library, this volume introduces a new interpretation that stays close to Aristotle's original text. It respects his specific theses, methods of proof, and his unique use of examples. By reading Aristotle's modal sentences de re, the text places significant weight on his use of ecthesis and counter-examples to build a cohesive argument. Designed for researchers and students of Western philosophy, the book offers a formal semantic analysis that functions without any reference to possible worlds. This approach provides a distinct perspective on historical logic, making it a valuable addition to any academic library focused on the history and schools of thought in Western philosophy.
