Aristotle's Organon in Old and New Logic

<p>Aristotle's 'Organon' in Old and New Logic: 1800 -1950 explores the reception</p><p>and interpretation of Aristotle's logic in a time period which was crucial for the</p><p>development of modern logic. Authors investigate how Aristotle's logic played a</p><p>role in both the pre-mathematical or old logic and in the several strands which</p><p>would constitute a new algebraic or formal-semantic logic. The volume also includes</p><p>a translation of Olga Hahn's path-breaking dissertation which sought to integrate</p><p>Aristotelian strategies of perfection into an algebraic representation of the syllogism.</p><p></p><p>This in-depth study of Aristotelianism covers logic in Kant and Hegel together</p><p>with the problems and projects of interpreting Aristotle in the new logic after Boole</p><p>and Frege. Examination of modern debates concerning induction and abduction</p><p>offers further insight into Aristotelian logic during the period. By filling gaps in our</p><p>understanding of Aristotelian logic this book not only provides a missing link in</p><p>21st-century studies of the history of Aristotelianism but also sheds light on ancient</p><p>logic's role in the formation of modern logical theory.</p>
