Ways into the logic of Alexander of Aphrodisias

by Kevin L. Flannery (1995)

About this book

Ways into the Logic of Alexander of Aphrodisias is intended to give an overview of the logic of Alexander of Aphrodisias (fl. early third century A D). Since much of what might be called Alexander's logic is simply Aristotelian logic, instead of engaging in point-by-point analysis, it takes up three themes, one from each of the main areas of traditional logic: the assertoric syllogistic, the modal syllogistic, and the area of metalogical concerns. It provides insight not only into Aristotle's logical writings themselves but also into the tradition of scholarship which they spawned: the ideas and analyses of such figures as Theophrastus of Eresus, John Philoponus and (more recently) Jan Lukasiewicz.

Le fantôme de l'Élysée

Philippe Dessertine

"13 ianvier 2011, palais de l'Élysée. La nuit s'annonce longue. Seul dans son bureau, François Hollande prépare sa conférence de presse très attendue du lendemain. En panne d'inspiration, un bruit le fait sursauter. Quel est l'intrus qui a réussi à berner la sécurité ? Ce n'est qu'un vieil homme qui prétend être le baron Jacques Necker, banquier suisse et ancien ministre des Finances de 1777 à 1781 ! L'homme le plus puissant du Royaume après le roi. Au fil d'une conversation surréaliste, François Hollande commence à douter : et si son étrange visiteur n'était pas fou ? Et s'il disait vrai ? Plus la nuit avance, plus les parallèles avec le passé surgissent brutalement : économie dégradée, pression fiscale trop lourde, dettes incontrôlées, citoyens mécontents... La Révolution est-elle pour demain ? L'Histoire est-elle condamnée à se répéter ? Et surtout, le baron ressuscité peut-il encore sauver la Présidence du naufrage ?"--P. [4] of cover.
