نظرية القياس الأرسطية في الميزان : منذ الرواقيين إلى العصور الحديثة

Abstract EN

Leibniz considered the Aristotelian syllogism theory to be one of the finest and most important inventions of the human mind, and that it was a type of mathematics whose importance had not yet been revealed.

here we are in front of a philosopher, mathematician and pioneer of symbolic logic of modern times, who appreciates the syllogistic inference of Aristotle.

he must be knowledgeable about the critics of this theory, who deprived him of the possibility of obtaining correct knowledge, from the earliest times to the philosophers and logicians of his time.

wouldn't he be one of those who realized that Aristotle's elaboration of his theory was in response to the science of his time, and therefore aware of the evolving nature of logical theory? the defect is not that a theory or a doctrine has opponents or supporters, that is part of the nature and tradition of philosophical culture.

the defect is that this rivalry and advocacy is based on rash considerations.
