Aristotelianism

Aristotle (;Greek: ἈριστοτέληςAristotélēs, pronounced [aristotélɛːs]; 384–322 BCE) was an Ancient Greecephilosopher and polymath. His writings cover a broad range of subjects spanning the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern scien

    "Although many commentators have summarized chapter 38 of Analytica Priora I as if it was perfectly clear to them, I have not found their explanations satisfactory enough. In fact, I think Aristotle's text needs badly some sort of clarification that makes it meaningful to modern logicians. In this note I wish to propose one such reconstruction."

    Mereology

    "Mereology" (from Greek meros, "part") is the theory (often formalized) of part, whole, and cognate concepts. The notion of part is almost ubiquitous in domain of application, and for this reason Edmund Husserl assigned its investigation to formal ontology. Aristotle observed that the term part was used in various ways, as for a subquantity, a physical part (leg of an animal), a part in definition (animal is part of man), a part in extension (man is part of animal). Part concepts had obvious applications in geometry and were among Euclid's undefined terms. Several senses of "part" are expressible using the preposition "in," but not all uses of "in" express parthood.

    Until the twentieth century it was generally assumed that the concept of part was sufficiently clear not to require elucidation, but gradually the need for a formal treatment became apparent. Euclid's maxim that the whole is greater than the part appeared to be contradicted by infinite classes, for example. In 1901 Husserl proposed a general theory of part and whole and distinguished several kinds of p
