Aristotle's treatise De Interpretatione is one of his central
works; it continues to be the focus of much attention and debate.
C. W. A. Whitaker presents the first systematic study of this work,
and offers a radical new view of its aims, its structure, and its
place in Aristotle's system, basing this view upon a detailed
chapter-by-chapter analysis. By treating the work systematically,
rather than concentrating on certain selected passages, Dr Whitaker
is able to show that, contrary to traditional opinion, it forms an
organized and coherent whole. He argues that the De Interpretatione
is intended to provide the underpinning for dialectic, the system
of argument by question and answer set out in Aristotle's Topics ;
and he rejects the traditional view that the De Interpretatione
concerns the assertion and is oriented towards the formal logic of
the Prior Analytics. In doing so, he sheds valuable new light on
some of Aristotle's most famous texts.
