Posterior Analytics


Read by Geoffrey Edwards

(4.8 stars; 13 reviews)

Posterior Analytics is the fourth of Aristotle's six texts on logic which are collectively known as the Organon ("Instrument"). Posterior Analytics deals with demonstration, definition, and scientific knowledge. Demonstration is distinguished as a syllogism productive of scientific knowledge, while Definition is marked as the statement of a thing's nature, a statement of the meaning of the name, or of an equivalent nominal formula.

Reviews

strange stuff


(4.5 stars)

Decent read, even though Aristotle was super-off about a bunch of stuff. Listening to it read makes more sense as it was originally an oral lesson rather than a read one.


(5 stars)

what was Aristotle off about K M? personally I think he's on about a lot of stuff.

sharp!!!


(5 stars)

With this book Aristotle laid the foundation of empirical science and defined analytics.
