Posterior Analytics is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. It is a work that deals with the nature of knowledge and how it is attained. In this text, Aristotle explores the concept of deductive reasoning and how it can be used to arrive at certain knowledge. He argues that knowledge can be acquired through a process of logical deduction from self-evident premises. The book is divided into two main parts. The first part deals with the nature of demonstration and the principles of deductive reasoning. Aristotle argues that demonstration is the highest form of knowledge and that it is based on certain principles that are self-evident and cannot be further demonstrated. He also discusses the different types of syllogisms and their relationship to demonstration.The second part of the book deals with the application of these principles to the study of science. Aristotle argues that all scientific knowledge is based on certain axioms or first principles that are self-evident and cannot be further demonstrated. He also discusses the different types of scientific inquiry and how they relate to the principles of demonstration.Overall, Posterior Analytics is an important work in the history of philosophy and has had a significant influence on the development of logic and scientific inquiry. It is a complex and challenging text that requires careful study and reflection to fully appreciate its insights and contributions to our understanding of knowledge and reasoning.ALL instruction given or received by way of argument proceeds from pre-existent knowledge. This becomes evident upon a survey of all the species of such instruction. The mathematical sciences and all other speculative disciplines are acquired in this way, and so are the two forms of dialectical reasoning, syllogistic and inductive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
