Topics

Aristotle

Book Overview: 

The Topics is is the fifth of Aristotle's six texts on logic which are collectively known as the Organon ("Instrument"). The Topics constitutes Aristotle's treatise on the art of dialectic—the invention and discovery of arguments in which the propositions rest upon commonly-held opinions or endoxa. Topoi are "places" from which such arguments can be discovered or invented. In his treatise on the Topics, Aristotle does not explicitly define a topos, though it is "at least primarily a strategy for argument not infrequently justified or explained by a principle."

Utmärkt beskrivning av argumentationsteknik, med särskilt fokus på det som vi hade kallat källkritik och logiska felslut. Utifrån ett rent nyttovärde har den full poäng. Textmässigt är den ointressant, men inte svårläst.

Yeah, this one was good, really good. But whereas I thought Prior analytics absolutely necessary, I think this book and Posterior Analytics are really just a collection, a pot pourri if you will, of several points about dialectic and argument, which while interesting, are not really necessary. I wou

Gostei, embora as noções apresentadas por ele ainda estão um pouco confusas. Terei que revisar e fazer umas considerações sobre algumas páginas marcadas. Mas no geral, gosto muito de Aristóteles e suas obras são de suma importância.

A classic read. This is the continuation for Categories. More likely this is interpretation and examples of what Aristotle write in Categories applied in many things.

Tratado de Aristóteles sobre a dialética.

Aristóteles acertadamente diz que é mais fácil refutar do que construir um argumento, já que o processo de construção deve ser verdadeiro para todos os casos particulares, muitas vezes incorrendo em exames individuais para testar sua validade.

Lembra que o sil

Establishing a clear system of dialectical categories, Aristotle proffers a meticulous inquiry into the rules and form of dialectical argumentation and in doing so provides with some fascinating nuggets of ethical and metaphysical philosophizing. A particularly enjoyable addition to the Organon. Don
