The second volume of Jonathan Barnes' papers on ancient philosophy
contains twenty-seven pieces under the broad heading of Logic. The
essays were written over a period of some forty years. Some of them
were published in obscure places (and two or three of them in a
foreign language). The French essays have been done into English;
and all the essays have been retouched, and a few of them
substantially revised.
The first three essays in the volume are of a general nature, being
concerned with ancient views on the status of logic--and with the
distinction between formal and material inferences. The next nine
items deal with different aspects of Aristotelian logic--the
copula, negation, the categories, homonymy, and the principle of
contradiction. Then come three papers about the connection (or lack
of connection) between Aristotelian logic and Stoic logic. Two of
the pieces discuss Theophrastus' theory of 'hypothetical'
syllogisms. After that, things run more or less chronologically--a
short notice on the Dialecticians, three essays on aspects of Stoic
logic, a pair of papers on ancient theories of meaning, items on
adverbs and connectors, on Philoponus and Boethius, and on an
anonymous tract written in the autumn of 1007 AD. All in all, there
is matter to divert scholars and students of ancient philosophy.
