Aristotle's Prior Analytics book I

Translated with an introduction and commentary

af Gisela (Harvard University) Striker

The Prior Analytics marks the beginning of formal logic, and is one of the most influential works in the history of thought. It is here that Aristotle sets out his system of syllogistic reasoning. The first book, to which this volume is devoted, offers a coherent presentation of Aristotle's logic as a general theory of deductive argument.
