    Greek Tradition. Both: Plato Aristotle Aristotle

    Uploaded by

    seq
    Modern logic originated from Ancient Greek traditions established by Plato and Aristotle, who conceived of logic as the study of arguments and correctness of argumentation. Aristotle produced six works on logic known as the Organon, including the Prior Analytics which was the first explicit work in formal logic. He espoused principles of excluded middle and non-contradiction and introduced the syllogism, further refined by his followers the Peripatetics. In medieval times, Aristotelian logic was studied as part of the trivium, the foundation of a medieval liberal arts education.

    But modern logic descends mainly from the Ancient

    Greek tradition. Both Platoand Aristotle conceived of logic


    as the study of argument and from a concern with
    correctness of argumentation. Aristotle produced six
    works on logic, known collectively as the "Organon", the
    first of these, the "Prior Analytics", being the first explicit
    work in formal logic.
    Aristotle espoused two principles of great importance in
    logic, the Law of Excluded Middle (that every statement
    is either true or false) and the Law of Non-
    Contradiction (confusingly, also known as the Law of
    Contradiction, that no statement is both true and false).
    He is perhaps most famous for introducing
    the syllogism (or term logic) (see the section on
    Deductive Logic below). His followers, known as
    the Peripatetics, further refined his work on logic.
    In medieval times, Aristotelian logic (or dialectics) was
    studied, along with grammar and rhetoric, as one of the
    three main strands of the trivium, the foundation of a
    medieval liberal arts education.
