Book Description:

De Interpretatione is among Aristotle's most influential and widely-read writings; C.W.A. Whitaker presents the first systematic study of this work, and offers a radical new view of its aims, its structure, and its place in Aristotle's system, based upon a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the text. He shows that the De Interpretatione is not a disjointed essay on ill-connected subjects, as traditionally thought, but a highly organized and systematic treatise on logic, argument, and dialectic.
