ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ / ABSTRACT
Aristotle on reductio ad impossibile: from dialectic to syllogistic logic
Marko Malink (New York University)
The method of reductio ad impossibile plays an important role in Aristotle’s logical writings. I argue that Aristotle countenances two different conceptions of the method. One is a dialectical conception which is found, e.g., in Topics 8.2 and Prior Analytics 2.11-13. The other is a formal conception which is found, e.g., in Prior Analytics 1.5-7 and 2.14. I will explore how the two conceptions of reductio differ from one another, and why Aristotle prefers to employ the one or the other in a given context. I argue that transitioning from the dialectical to the formal conception is key to his argument in Prior Analytics 2.14 that everything derivable by reductio can be derived by means of a direct deduction.
