In this part of the "Posterior Analytics," Aristotle elaborates his
assessment of how universal truths of science can be scientifically
explained as inevitable in demonstrative proofs. But he introduces
complications: some sciences discuss phenomena that can only be
explained by higher sciences and again sometimes we reason out a
cause from an effect, rather than an effect from a cause.
Philoponus takes these issues further. Reasoning from particular to
universal is the direction taken by induction, and in mathematics
reasoning from a theorem to the higher principles from which it
follows is considered particularly valuable. It corresponds to the
direction of analysis, as opposed to synthesis.This volume contains
an English translation of Philoponus' commentary, a detailed
introduction, extensive explanatory notes and a bibliography.
