Developments in Hydrobiology #43: The Logic of Essentialism

by Paul Thom

Developments in Hydrobiology #43: The Logic of Essentialism Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Surveys the major ancient, medieval, and modern interpretations of Aristotle's Modal Syllogistic, presenting a framework within which the competing interpretations are compared and evaluated. Develops a new interpretation based on the philosopher's theses, methods of proof, and use of examples, which reads his modal sentences de re and emphasizes his use of ecthesis and counter-examples. Features a formal semantic analysis that makes no reference to possible worlds, and articulates the theoretical and genetic links between the modal syllogistic and Aristotle's essentialist metaphysics. Includes indices of axioms, rules, and systems.
