Anon, this is not literature. You're reading pages and pages of the author jacking himself to the thought of people reading this.
This is intellectual cuckoldry at best and intellectual sodomy at worst.

it really is basic logic, just presented in an extremely impenetrable way. Better variable names would make it a lot easier to read.

Aristotle invented logic. Get over it. It's important because it was the first attempt to systematize it.

>> No.15452601

Back then you were expected to take your time with it, read it and re-read it. It was meant to be a lifetime lesson. Sort of like a university course.

The way /lit/ reads books, just rushing through them trying to complete them, so they can claim to have read X amount of books is not what the Greeks had in mind.

I just read Euclid's 2.10 in connection with Waterfield's treatment of the Pythagoreans. This is the good stuff you idiot (except when attributes are haphazardly tossed out as in the above and mal-adapted to later masquerade as legitimate theology per Aquinas et al, a venerable tradition with roots in Aristotle's questing nonsense.)

From what the excerpt says, I'm deducing that the author is talking about fixed propositions A and E and classes, of propositions, B C D F G H which relate to A in a certain way. B the consequences, C the things to which A is a consequence and D the things which cannot be true at the same time as A.

If you have any interest in philosophy, Aristotle is the only part of the 'canon' that you CANNOT skip. He is the first real philosopher who left extensive writings that survived antiquity, and there's a reason for that. He is absolutely essential.
