Syllogism is a form of logical argument allowing one
to deduce a consistent conclusion based on a pair of premises having a
common term. Although Aristotle was the first to conceive and develop
this way of reasoning, he left open a lot of conceptual space for
further modifications, improvements and systematizations with regards to
his original syllogistic theory. From its creation until modern times,
syllogism has remained a powerful and compelling device of deduction and
argument, used by a variety of figures and assuming a variety of forms
throughout history.
The Aftermath of Syllogism investigates the
key developments in the history of this peculiar pattern of inference,
from Avicenna to Hegel. Taking as its focus the longue durée of
development between the Middle Ages and the nineteenth century, this
book looks at the huge reworking scientific syllogism underwent over the
centuries, as some of the finest philosophical minds brought it to an
unprecedented height of logical sharpness and sophistication.
Bringing
together a group of major international experts in the Aristotelian
tradition, The Aftermath of Syllogism provides a detailed, up to date
and critical evaluation of the history of syllogistic deduction.
