Book Description
"This is a really excellent translation of the two Aristotelian works. The author respects English idiom and traditional understanding of the terms in a way that is truly remarkable. For instance, the names of the categories keep in English the full force of the original Greek designations, without strain on the English words. I noted numerous instances of this happy faculty as I read the translation." -Joseph Ownes Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies

Book Description
Aristotle's treatise De Interpretatione is one of his central works; it continues to be the focus of much attention and debate. C. W. A. Whitaker presents the first systematic study of this work, and offers a radical new view of its aims, its structure, and its place in Aristotle's system,basing this view upon a detailed chapter-by-chapter analysis.By treating the work systematically, rather than concentrating on certain selected passages, Whitaker is able to show that, contrary to traditional opinion, it forms an organized and coherent whole. He argues that the De Interpretatione is intended to provide the underpinning for dialectic, thesystem of argument by question and answer set out in Aristotle's Topics; and he rejects the traditional view that the De Interpretatione concerns the assertion and is oriented towards the formal logic of the Prior Analytics. In doing so, he sheds valuable new light on some of Aristotle's mostfamous texts.
