Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Oxford is to be commended for giving Barnes the opportunity to improve upon a work that even in its first edition was one of the outstanding volumes in the series."—Isis

"...the notes in Posterior Analytics second edition are crisp and incisive, and offer a dazzling array of opinions that are original with Barnes or are argued for in original ways....the commentary is immensely learned and abounds with references to ancient texts and to secondary literature."—Ancient Philosophy
