The Metaphysics of Thirteenth Century Dialectic and Consequences

Metaphysics, Modal Conditionals, and Consequences in Thomas Aquinas

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Among medieval studies, one of the areas of debate is
whether consequences arose from dialectic or from
Prior Analytic commentaries and the place of
metaphysics in this development. The following work
investigates this development using modal conditional
semantics and consequences. The work suggests
conditional syllogistics led to the rise of
consequences from both dialectic and developments in
conditional expressions. Due to Aquinas emphasis
upon metaphysics and his use of conditional
expressions, Aquinas is an exceptional source for a
scientific investigation. The following work
illustrates Aquinas' modal conditional semantic
metaphysics and its relation to consequences within
its Parisian context. The focus is specifically on
the metaphysics of modal semantics in hypothetical
modal conditional enunciations and syllogistics using
the topic from definition. This scientific
investigation contributes to the history of
logic, the relationship between consequences,
dialectic, metaphysics, and modal conditional
expressions, and contemporary analytic research in
conditional logic, language, and semantic theories
in intensional logics.
