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."

This book made me long for a time when people paused to actually argue the merits of their positions based on the clarity and correctness of the argument and on the first principles of its premises. Too often today, people hold many beliefs very strongly without bothering to think about why they hol
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.
