Aristotle thought of his logic and methodology as applications of
the Socratic questioning method. In particular, logic was
originally a study of answers necessitated by earlier answers. For
Aristotle, thought-experiments were real experiments in the sense
that by realizing forms in one's mind, one can read off their
properties and interrelations. Treating forms as independent
entities, knowable one by one, committed Aristotle to his mode of
syllogistic explanation. He did not think of existence, predication
and identity as separate senses of estin. Aristotle thus serves as
an example of a thinker who did not rely on the distinction between
the allegedly different Fregean senses, thereby shedding new light
on our own conceptual presuppositions.
This collection comprises several striking interpretations that
Jaakko Hintikka has put forward over the years, constituting a
challenge not only to Aristotelian scholars and historians of
ideas, but to everyone interested in logic, epistemology or
metaphysics and in their history.
