>>13313575>Is this a meme or actually useful? I keep hearing shit like "start with the greeks" and I always wondered whether that held water.Useful I don't know, it was the main text on logic up until the 1900s. Every logician before Frege had read it.
It does show how Aristotle invented the field of logic while trying to categorise stuff. It is interesting to see how he went from that to how he built up the rules of logic.
If anything it is probably the most important work on logic in history. It is actually 6 books though. (Varying in length, the shortest being 15 pages and the longest being 111 pages, all together the 6 books is around 300 pages, so it isn't a huge effort and easier to read than most other texts on logic. Although not super easy.)
