Richard Patterson, "Aristotle's Modal Logic: Essence and Entailment in the Organon"
English | 1995-05-26 | ISBN: 052145168X | 303 pages | PDF | 6.3 mb
Aristotle's Modal Logic presents a radically new interpretation of Aristotle's logic by arguing that a proper understanding of the system depends on an appreciation of its connection to the metaphysics.
Patterson establishes that there is a fundamental connection between Aristotle's logic of possibility and necessity, and his metaphysics; that this connection extends far beyond the widely recognized tie to scientific demonstration and relates to the more basic distinction between the essential and accidental properties of a subject.
