" Reasoning in form, Enrico Berti used to pledge, ought to be taught starting from adolescence. That each young adult be empowered to know that what s/he says is true ought to be considered as a human right. This book showcases two centuries of readings of Aristotle's Organon, one of the greatest books of the Western philosophical tradition. This book is about nineteenth-century and twentieth-centuries readings of Aristotle's Organon. The time span goes from Kant to Lukasiewicz. It is correctly old and new logic, which are divided by the threshold of the quantification of the predicate achieved in Boolean logic. An introduction and twelve well-argued chapters make the case for the choice of subject matter and periodization . " --Riccardo Pozzo, Professor of the History of Philosophy, The Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Italy "This is a highly informative book on how the Organon was received in the period of resurgence of Aristotelian studies from the beginning of the 19th century onwards.


Although it does not exhaust all the relevant contributions of the period, it does focus on some of the most significant ones and does so in a very enlightening way. The book fills a gap in our knowledge of the reception of Aristotle's Organon in the West." --António Pedro Mesquita, professor of Ancient Philosophy, University of Lisbon, Portugal. "We welcome this collection of studies on the evaluation, preservation, and criticism of Aristotelean logic in modern philosophy and science. This volume draws together a wide range of competent scholars to reflect on these arguments, and they provide evaluations of Aristotle which cannot be avoided in the study of logic." --Terence J. Kleven, Schnucker-Sessler Professor of Philosophy and Religion, Central College, USA.
