What were the perceived intentions, messages and problems of this treatise, the last within the Organon? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This book presents newly discovered fragments from the lost ancient commentaries by Aspasios, Herminos, Alexander and Syrianos on Aristotle’s \u003cem\u003eSophistical Refutations\u003c\/em\u003e. After presenting the fragments, which were preserved by the humanist and philosopher Agostino Nifo (ca. 1473-1538), the introduction makes the case for their authenticity. There follows an edition of the fragments, accompanied by a translation and detailed commentary. This material sheds new light on the history and philosophy of logic, and especially on the theory of fallacies. It further documents how the \u003cem\u003eSophistical Refutations\u003c\/em\u003e were interpreted and used in ancient Aristotelianism. Finally, it complements our knowledge of the philosophy of two major Aristotelians, Herminos and his pupil, the great Alexander of Aphrodisias. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This study is of immediate relevance to readers with an interest in philosophy, logic, history, and\/or Greco-Roman antiquity. Because it concerns the use and abuse of fallacies, and ways to counteract them, it also has countless practical applications in all fields of mundane life. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51062295494929,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51062298476817,"sku":"NIN9783111332666","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52407408165137,"sku":"NLS9783111332666","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3111332667.jpg?v=1750934796"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-victor-gysembergh.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
