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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victor Gysembergh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111332667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111332666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.31d","brand":"Victor Gysembergh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44616537604351,"sku":"9783111332666","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14f0d1e1-d09d-46b4-b452-9bea1d43c22d.jpg?v=1703020888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forgotten-ancient-commentaries-on-aristotles-victor-gysembergh-9783111332666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
