Synopsis

The Logic Of Science: A Translation Of The Posterior Analytics Of Aristotle : With Notes And An Introduction by Edward Poste is a translation of Aristotle's Posterior Analytics with introductory material and notes. The volume presents Aristotle's theory of scientific knowledge, demonstration, induction, and the logic by which science is pursued, including the conditions of science, axioms, hypotheses, and the roles of definition and causes. Poste divides the Organon into General Logic, the Logic of Deduction, the Logic of Induction, and the Logic of Opinion, and provides extensive commentary on Book I’s chapters on Reasoning, Induction, and Definition, as well as Book II’s Problems of Science and the intermediate causes. The Introduction surveys modern writers such as Mill, Whewell, and Kant to illuminate Aristotle’s Problems of Science and the status of axioms and hypotheses. The volume thus offers both a faithful translation and scholarly apparatus for readers seeking the foundations of scientific method in Aristotle’s theory.
