Description
Aristotle's Prior Analytics marks the beginning of formal logic.
For Aristotle himself, this meant the discovery of a general theory of valid deductive argument, a project that he had described as either impossible or impracticable, probably not very long before he actually came up with syllogistic reasoning.
A syllogism is the inferring of one proposition from two others of a particular form, and it is the subject of the Prior Analytics.
The firstbook, to which this volume is devoted, offers a fairly coherent presentation of Aristotle's logic as a general theory of deductive argument.
