Chinese logic and Aristotelian logic are very different. The communication between these two language games is generally difficult. But, the attempt to understand the unfamiliar and the novel are commonalities of human beings. To understand different ways of thinking, effort must be made from both sides. The evidence that strongly supports this argument is the discourse between Jesuit and Chine...

It is generally accepted that it is a mistake that Aristotle ignore the moods of the fourth figure in his syllogism. In this paper, I shall argue the Aristotelian syllogism consisting of the essential moods and their derivative moods is complete or self-contained, all the moods of the fourth figure can be derived from the essential moods. The analysis table provided in the paper will contribute...

Abstract There are two different modal logics: the logic T assuming contingency and K = logical determinism. In paper, I show that Aristotelian treatise On Interpretation (???? ?????????, De Interpretatione ) has introduced some modal-logical relationships which correspond to . this logic, it is supposed there contingent events. The N?g?rjunian ??vara-kart?tva-nir?k?ti?-vi??o?-ekakart?tva-nir?k...

Aristotelian diagrams have a long and rich history in philosophical logic. Today, they are widely used in nearly all disciplines dealing with logical reasoning. Logical geometry is concerned with the theoretical study of these diagrams, from both a logical and a visual/geometrical perspective. In this paper, we argue that the concrete shape of Aristotelian diagrams can be of great heuristic val...

to analyze the dialectical reasoning, in topics, aristotle reduces any dialectical proposition to a subject which is ‘species’ and a predicate which is either ‘definition’ , ‘genus’, (‘difference’,) ‘property’, or ‘accident’, and then he says that the ten categories provide the matters of these predicables. porphyry in isagoge substitutes the ‘species’ for the ‘definition’ and exhibites these f...

The Aristotelian square of oppositions is a well-known diagram in logic and linguistics. In recent years, several extensions of the square have been discovered. However, these extensions have failed to become as widely known as the square. In this paper we argue that there is indeed a fundamental difference between the square and its extensions, viz., a difference in informativity. To do this, ...
