The first volume of Ian Mueller's translation covered chapters 1.8-13, and reached as far as the chapter in which Aristotle discussed the notion of contingency. In this, the second volume, the 'greatest' commentator, Alexander, concludes his discussion of Aristotle's modal logic. \u003cbr\u003eAristotle also invented the syllogism, a style of argument involving two premises and a conclusion. Modal propositions can be deployed in syllogisms, and in the chapters included in this volume Aristotle discusses all the syllogisms containing at least one contingent premiss. \u003cbr\u003eIn each volume, Ian Mueller provides a comprehensive explanation of Alexander's commentary on modal logic as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45082085294231,"sku":"9781472558480","price":4983.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472558480.webp?v=1767142482","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alexander-of-aphrodisias-on-aristotle-prior-analytics-1-14-22-9781472558480","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
