The Posterior Analytics contains some of Aristotle's most influential thoughts in logic, epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of science. The first book expounds and develops the notions of a demonstrative argument and of a formal, axiomatized science; the second discusses a cluster of problems raised by the axioms or principles of such a science, and investigates in particular the theory of definition. This volume is intended to serve the needs of readers of Aristotle without a knowledge of Greek; for this second edition the translation has been completely rewritten, with the aims of greater elegance and greater fidelity to the Greek. The commentary elucidates and assesses Aristotle's arguments from a philosophical point of view; it has been extensively revised to take account of the scholarship of the last twenty years.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Oxford is to be commended for giving Barnes the opportunity to improve upon a work that even in its first edition was one of the outstanding volumes in the series."--Isis
"...the notes in Posterior Analytics second edition are crisp and incisive, and offer a dazzling array of opinions that are original with Barnes or are argued for in original ways....the commentary is immensely learned and abounds with references to ancient texts and to secondary literature."--Ancient Philosophy
