Description
Aristotle's 'Organon' in Old and New Logic: 1800 -1950 explores the receptionand interpretation of Aristotle's logic in a time period which was crucial for thedevelopment of modern logic. Authors investigate how Aristotle's logic played arole in both the pre-mathematical or "old" logic and in the several strands whichwould constitute a new algebraic or formal-semantic logic. The volume also includesa translation of Olga Hahn's path-breaking dissertation, which sought to integrateAristotelian strategies of perfection into an algebraic representation of the syllogism.
This in-depth study of Aristotelianism covers logic in Kant and Hegel, togetherwith the problems and projects of interpreting Aristotle in the new logic after Booleand Frege. Examination of modern debates concerning induction and abductionoffers further insight into Aristotelian logic during the period. By filling gaps in ourunderstanding of Aristotelian logic, this book not only provides a missing link in21st-century studies of the history of Aristotelianism, but also sheds light on ancientlogic's role in the formation of modern logical theory.
