Aristotle's logic

the heuristic view

Carlo Cellucci

pp. 115-133

Abstract

In Chapter 2 it has been stated that Aristotle's choice of the title ta analutika was intended to suggest a connection of Aristotle's Analytics with the analytic method of Hippocrates of Chios and Hippocrates of Cos. In fact the analytic method, as formulated by Plato, and the Greek practice of discussion in the agora, in courts or in political debates, are the ultimate sources of Aristotle's logic.
