In the second half of book 1 of the "Prior Analytics," Aristotle
reflects on the application of the formalized logic he has
developed in the first half, focusing particularly on the non-modal
or assertoric syllogistic developed in the first seven chapters.
These reflections lead Alexander of Aphrodisias, the great late
second-century AD exponent of Aristotelianism, to explain and
sometimes argue against subsequent developments of Aristotle's
logic and alternatives and objections to it, ideas associated
mainly with his colleague Theophrastus and with the Stoics. The
other main topic of this part of the "Prior Analytics" is the
specification of a method for discovering true premises needed to
prove a given proposition. Aristotle's presentation is sometimes
difficult to follow, and Alexander's discussion is extremely
helpful to the uninitiated reader. In his commentary on the final
chapter translated in this volume, Alexander provides an insightful
account of Aristotle's criticism of Plato's method of division.
