The commentary of Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle's Prior
Analytics 1.8-22 is a very important text, being the main ancient
commentary with chapters in which Aristotle invented modal logic -
the logic of propositions about what is necessary or contingent
(possible). The first volume of Ian Mueller's translation covered
chapters 1.8-13, and reached as far as the chapter in which
Aristotle discussed the notion of contingency. In this, the second
volume, the 'greatest' commentator, Alexander, concludes his
discussion of Aristotle's modal logic. Aristotle also invented the
syllogism, a style of argument involving two premises and a
conclusion. Modal propositions can be deployed in syllogisms, and
in the chapters included in this volume Aristotle discusses all the
syllogisms containing at least one contingent premiss. In each
volume, Ian Mueller provides a comprehensive explanation of
Alexander's commentary on modal logic as a whole.
