Aristotle's de Interpretatione
Book • 1997
C.
W. A. Whitaker's analysis reinterprets Aristotle's De Interpretatione as a cohesive work centered on contradictory assertions and dialectical method rather than isolated propositions.
The book argues against the medieval view of the text as merely a precursor to formal logic, instead positioning it within Aristotle's broader framework of dialectic as outlined in the Topics and Sophistic Refutations.
Whitaker demonstrates how the treatise systematically addresses language, truth, and argumentation through the lens of contradictory pairs.
