Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avec son traité de la démonstration intitulé Seconds Analytiques, c'est un véritable discours de la méthode qu'Aristote nous livre. Il parvient au sommet de l'art logique dont il est l'inventeur. Pourtant, de l'avis unanime des interprètes anciens et actuels, nous sommes devant un de ses écrits les plus difficiles à comprendre. C'est pourquoi Thomas d'Aquin a voulu commenter minutieusement ce texte dont il juge la maîtrise essentielle au travail intellectuel. Pour la première fois en langue française, nous en proposons une traduction qui permet d'accéder à cette école de rigueur : la logique.

Book excerpt: Dans les Seconds Analytiques, Aristote expose sa conception de ce qu'il appelle la " science démonstrative ". Ce mode éminent de savoir prend la forme d'un système déductif fondé sur des principes vrais, antérieurs aux conclusions qu'on en tire et causes de ces conclusions, entraînant chez celui qui le possède une conviction inébranlable. C'est donc dans cet ouvrage qu'Aristote précise les caractéristiques de sa théorie du savoir et qu'il se démarque le plus nettement des autres philosophes, notamment de Platon. Les Seconds Analytiques ont été mal compris et mal aimés. On a vu dans la conception aristotélicienne de la science qu'ils exposent un frein puissant au développement de la pensée scientifique moderne. Le temps est peut-être venu de réviser ce jugement. Ce texte est, par ailleurs, l'objet de nombreux débats parmi les historiens de la philosophie et l'on peut dire que la conception que chacun se fait de l'aristotélisme repose sur la manière dont il lit les Seconds Analytiques.

Download or read book Aristote Les Seconds Analytiques written by Vrin and published by Librarie Philosophique J. Vrin. This book was released on 1996-12-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Seconds analytiques est l'ouvrage qu'Aristote a consacre a la demonstration scientifique, en complement des Premiers analytiques, qui exposent la theorie generale du syllogisme. Bien qu'appartenant a l'organon, c'est-a-dire a la logique d'Aristote, il s'agit donc du premier traite de philosophie des sciences jamais ecrit. Quelques decennies avant les Elements d'Euclide, Aristote y expose la premiere theorie d'une axiomatique ou d'une science hypotheticodeductive, completee par la recherche de l'explication causale, l'examen du role de l'empirisme et de l'intellect, et cherche a donner une explication globale de la science, applicable aussi bien a la physique qu'aux mathematiques. La traduction elegante et claire de Jean Tricot permet d'acceder a ce texte fondateur de l'epistemologie.

Download or read book Philoponus On Aristotle Posterior Analytics 2 written by Philoponus, and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Posterior Analytics contains Aristotle's philosophy of science. In Book 2, Aristotle asks how the scientist discovers what sort of loss of light constitutes lunar eclipse. The scientist has to discover that the moon's darkening is due to the earth's shadow. Once that defining explanation is known the scientist possesses the full scientific concept of lunar eclipse and can use it to explain other necessary features of the phenomenon. The present commentary, arguably ascribed to Philoponus incorrectly, offers some interpretations of Aristotle that are unfamiliar nowadays. For example, the scientific concept of a human is acquired from observing particular humans and repeatedly receiving impressions in the sense image or percept and later in the imagination. The impressions received are not only of particular distinctive characteristics, like paleness, but also of universal human characteristics, like rationality. Perception can thus in a sense apprehend universal qualities in the individual as well as particular ones. This volume contains an English translation of the commentary, accompanied by extensive commentary notes, an introduction and a bibliography.

Download or read book Averroes and the Aristotelian Tradition written by Jan Aertsen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Averroes the philosopher was the Commentator of Aristotle. In this, the project of his life coincided with the perception of his contemporary readers and with the esteem governing four centuries of European Aristotelianism. It has been the purpose of the 4th Symposium Averroicum to contribute to a better understanding of this philosophy: both on the basis of Averroes' works and in the light of his sources. The Symposium, held in conjunction with the 6th Editors Conference of the Averrois Opera, brought together eminent scholars and researchers on Averroes and adjacent areas. Their contributions are presented in four sections: - The Project of Averroes - Averroes and the Hellenistic Commentators - Averroes, the Commentator - Averroes and the Latin Tradition A bibliography of editions and contributions to the text is appended (to date 1998).
Download or read book Alexander of Aphrodisias On Aristotle Topics 1 written by Johannes M.Van Ophuijsen and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle's Topics is about dialectic, which can be understood as a debate between two people or the inner debate of one thinker with himself. Its purposes range from philosophical training to discovering the first principles of thought. Its arguments concern the four predicables (definition, property, genus and accident). Aristotle explains how these four fit into his ten categories, and in Book 1 begins to outline strategies for debate, such as the definition of ambiguity. Alexander's commentary on Book 1 discusses how to define Aristotelian syllogistic argument, why it stands up against the rival Stoic theory of interference, and what is the character of inductive interference and of rhetorical argument. He distinguishes inseparable accidents such as the whiteness of snow from defining differentiae such as its being frozen, and considers how these fit into the scheme of categories. He speaks of dialectic as a stochastic discipline in which success is to be judged not by victory but by skill in argument, a view parallel to that sometimes taken in antiquity of medical practice. And he investigates the subject of ambiguity which had also been richly developed since Aristotle by the rival Stoic school.
Download or read book Knowledge and Demonstration written by Orna Harari and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-02-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the theoretical relationship between Aristotle’s theory of syllogism and his conception of demonstrative knowledge. More specifically, I consider why Aristotle’s theory of demonstration presupposes his theory of syllogism. In reconsidering the relationship between Aristotle’s two Analytics, I modify this widely discussed question. The problem of the relationship between Aristotle’s logic and his theory of proof is commonly approached from the standpoint of whether the theory of demonstration presupposes the theory of syllogism. By contrast, I assume the theoretical relationship between these two theories from the start. This assumption is based on much explicit textual evidence indicating that Aristotle considers the theory of demonstration a branch of the theory of syllogism. I see no textual reasons for doubting the theoretical relationship between Aristotle’s two Analytics so I attempt to uncover here the common theoretical assumptions that relate the syllogistic form of reasoning to the cognitive state (i. e. , knowledge), which is attained through syllogistic inferences. This modification of the traditional approach reflects the wider objective of this essay. Unlike the traditional interpretation, which views the Posterior Analytics in light of scientific practice, this study aims to lay the foundation for a comprehensive interpretation of the Posterior Analytics, considering this work from a metaphysical perspective. One of my major assertions is that Aristotle’s conception of substance is essential for a grasp of his theory of demonstration in general, and of the role of syllogistic logic in particular.
Download or read book Aristotle and Plotinus on the Intellect written by Mark J. Nyvlt and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book emphasizes that Aristotle was aware of the philosophical attempt to subordinate divine Intellect to a prior and absolute principle. Nyvlt argues that Aristotle transforms the Platonic doctrine of Ideal Numbers into an astronomical account of the unmoved movers, which function as the multiple intelligible content of divine Intellect. Thus, within Aristotle we have in germ the Plotinian doctrine that the intelligibles are within the Intellect. While the content of divine Intellect is multiple, it does not imply that divine Intellect possesses a degree of potentiality, given that potentiality entails otherness and contraries. Rather, the very content of divine Intellect is itself; it is Thought Thinking Itself. The pure activity of divine Intellect, moreover, allows for divine Intellect to know the world, and the acquisition of this knowledge does not infect divine Intellect with potentiality. The status of the intelligible object(s) within divine Intellect is pure activity that is identical with divine Intellect itself, as T. De Koninck and H. Seidl have argued. Therefore, the intelligible objects within divine Intellect are not separate entities that determine divine Intellect, as is the case in Plotinus.-- Book Description from Website.

Download or read book Alexander of Aphrodisias On Aristotle On Coming to be and Perishing 2 2 5 written by Alexander Of Aphrodisias and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important commentary by Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle's work on biochemistry was previously lost. However, four chapters of it have been re-identified in an Arabic translation by Emma Gannage and are here translated for the first time. The chapters were preserved in the writings of an eighth-century alchemist, Jabir ibn Hayyan. In addition to preserving an interesting example of very early cross-cultural scientific activity in the Muslim world, the newly discovered material is of philosophical importance: We learn how Alexander attempted to provide a unified theory that would unite Aristotle's chemistry with his elemental physics. As well as an English translation of the text, this volume includes a detailed introduction demonstrating the authenticity of the work and discussing its contribution to our understanding of ancient science.
