This Companion provides a comprehensive guide to ancient logic. The
first part charts its chronological development, focussing
especially on the Greek tradition, and discusses its two main
systems: Aristotle's logic of terms and the Stoic logic of
propositions. The second part explores the key concepts at the
heart of the ancient logical systems: truth, definition, terms,
propositions, syllogisms, demonstrations, modality and fallacy. The
systematic discussion of these concepts allows the reader to engage
with some specific logical and exegetical issues and to appreciate
their transformations across different philosophical traditions.
The intersections between logic, mathematics and rhetoric are also
explored. The third part of the volume discusses the reception and
influence of ancient logic in the history of philosophy and its
significance for philosophy in our own times. Comprehensive
coverage, chapters by leading international scholars and a critical
overview of the recent literature in the field will make this
volume essential for students and scholars of ancient logic.
