Aristotle, mathematics
Mathematics plays a rich role in Aristotle's works in three different ways. He often uses mathematical examples to illustrate logical form and to illustrate deductive sciences.
Two Traces of Two-Step Eudoxan Proportion Theory in Aristotle: A Tale of Definitions in Aristotle, with a Moral
Eloge: Wilbur Knorr, 29 August 1945-18 March 1997
Making Sense of Aristotelian Demonstration
At Post. An. 1. 14, 79a17-32, we find Aristotle reiterating a familiar theme. Here he does not make the usual claim that all syllogisms can be reduced to first-figure syllogisms.2 Rather the first figure is said to be the most productive of knowledge (επιστημονικòνμαλισσα). As evidence for this claim Aristotle proceeds to cite the mathematical sciences, e.g. arithmetic, geometry, and optics, as bearing their demonstrations through the first figur…
Topoi on Topos: The Development o f Aristotle's Concept of Place
Aristotle's notion of place receives its fullest development in Physics A 1-5, where he argues that place is the inner limit of a containing body. The common opinion which leads him to this view is an old one.' In the Parmenides (138A2-B6) Plato assumes that if the one is somewhere (.nov), it is in something. This, he recognizes, must be a distinct container.2 For otherwise the one would contain itself (nEQLEFXov). Therefore the container (@6 nEQ…
Two Geometrical Examples From Aristotle's Metaphysics
The discussion of mathematical knowledge and its relation to the construction of an appropriate diagram in Aristotle's Metaphysics Θ 9 . 1051 a21—33 is an important, if compressed, account of Aristotle's most mature thoughts on mathematical knowledge. The discussion of what sort of previous knowledge one must have for understanding a theorem recalls the discussion at An. Post. A 1. 71 a 17–21, where the epistemological point is similar and the ex…
