Aristotle's Modal Logic, first published in 1995, presents an
interpretation of Aristotle's logic by arguing that a proper
understanding of the system depends on an appreciation of its
connection to the metaphysics. Richard Patterson develops three
striking theses in the book. First, there is a fundamental
connection between Aristotle's logic of possibility and necessity,
and his metaphysics, and that this connection extends far beyond
the widely recognised tie to scientific demonstration and relates
to the more basic distinction between the essential and accidental
properties of a subject. Second, Aristotle's views on modal logic
depend in very significant ways on his metaphysics without
entailing any sacrifice in rigour. Third, once one has grasped the
nature of the relationship, one can understand better certain
genuine difficulties in the system of logic and appreciate its
strengths in terms of the purposes for which it was created.
