Aristotle: posterior analytics...

Aristotle's “Posterior Analytics”, Book II, Chapter 19, contains one of the
most significant texts in the history of philosophy and, in particular, the
field of epistemology. Paolo C. Biondi's book offers a new English
translation, along with a commentary and critical analysis, of this important
text. The originality of the translation is grounded in the exegesis found in
the commentary, which also provides an overview of the interpretations of many
Aristotelian philosophers from the Greek commentators through to contemporary
scholars. The critical analysis is an in-depth essay on Aristotle's thoughts
on logic and psychology. Even though the essay's main argument — that human
intuition lies at the base of the mind's grasp of the principles of science —
reaffirms the traditional position, the conclusion is arrived at by an
ingenious step-by-step study of each of the various human faculties of
cognition, a study that is much like the process of putting together the
pieces of a puzzle.
