Logic Works Collection

Author's name: Aristotle

This work brings together six foundational treatises that scholars have agreed to group under the title "Logic": "Categories," "Interpretation of Statements," "First Analyses," "Periodical Analyses," "Applications," and "Refutations of the Sociologists." In this work, Aristotle traces the principles of sound reasoning, from defining substance—which he describes as the nucleus of being—to analyzing the nature of statements, the conditions of proof, and the limits of logical syllogisms. He explores how knowledge is constructed through hypotheses and deductions, distinguishing between what is essential and accidental, necessary and possible, true and false. This edition offers a direct translation from the original Greek texts, bypassing the heavy terminological baggage of previous translations and striving for clarity and precision to open the doors of Aristotelian logic to the contemporary Arab reader. It is not merely a book on logic, but an introduction to the philosophy of existence and knowledge, a meeting point between language and thought, between philosophy and analysis, and between argument and truth.
