The last 14 chapters of book 1 of Aristotle's "Prior Analytics" are
concerned with the representation in the formal language of
syllogistic of propositions and arguments expressed in more or less
everyday Greek. In his commentary on those chapters, "Alexander of
Aphrodisias" explains some of Aristotle's more opaque assertions
and discusses post-Aristotelian ideas in semantics and the
philosophy of language. In doing so he provides an unusual insight
into the way in which these disciplines developed in the
Hellenistic era. He also shows a more sophisticated understanding
of these fields than Aristotle himself, while remaining a staunch
defender of Aristotle's emphasis on meaning as opposed to Stoics
concern with verbal formulation. In his commentary on the final
chapter of book 1 Alexander offers a thorough discussion of
Aristotle's distinction between denying that something is, for
example, white and asserting that it is non-white.
