The commentary of Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle's Prior
Analytics 1.8-22 is the main ancient commentary, by the 'greatest'
commentator, on the chapters of the Prior Analytics in which
Aristotle invented modal logic - the logic of propositions about
what is necessary or contingent (possible). In this volume, which
covers chapters 1.8-13, Alexander of Aphrodisias reaches the
chapter in which Aristotle discusses the notion of contingency.
Also included in this volume is Alexander's commentary on that part
of Prior Analytics 1.17 which explains the conversion of contingent
propositions (the rest of 1.17 is included in the second volume of
Mueller's translation). Aristotle also invented the syllogism, a
style of argument involving two premises and a conclusion. Modal
propositions can be deployed in syllogism, and in the chapters
included in this volume Aristotle discusses syllogisms consisting
of two necessary propositions as well as the more controversial
ones containing one necessary and one non-modal premiss. The
discussion of syllogisms containing contingent propositions is
reserved for Volume 2. In each volume, Ian Mueller provides a
comprehensive explanation of Alexander's commentary on modal logic
as a whole.
