The First Square of Opposition
Phronesis 68 (4):371-383 (2023)
Abstract
It has become an article of faith among historians of logic that the square of opposition diagram is due not to Aristotle, but to Apuleius. I examine three Aristotelian texts and argue that Prior Analytics I.46 contains a square of opposition, making Aristotle the discoverer of the diagram.Author's Profile
