Episode Details

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, On Interpretation, focusing on his discussion of modal propositions that include or reference necessity. He notes that there is an inverse relation between necessity and impossibility, that with necessity, contraries follow upon contradictories, and that possibility follows from necessity but not the converse.
