Abstract

SE trata de una serie de sesiones para la escuela de lógica del Congreso. Su tematica queda descrita a continuación: In this course we are going to focus on ancient logic, in particular the contributions made by Apuleius (ca. 124{170 AD) and Boethius (480{524 AD) contributions to its development. As to Apuleius, we shall study the treatise named Peri Hermeneias, which has been attributed to him. As to Boethius, we discuss both treatises on categorical logic (in relation to his double commentary on Aristotle's De Interpretatione [5]) and his treatise on hypothetical logic. As it is likely that Apuleius and Boethius are depending on some earlier authors | some less known than them | we are also introducing those authors and their works (either they have survived or not) to recognize a history of this textual tradition. Apuleius and categorical logic: Here we discuss the Apuleian authenticity of the Peri Hermeneias treatise and its particular terminology. We define its main characteristics from a logical viewpoint, and discuss the similarity between this treatise and one written by Boethius (De syllogismo categorico). We resolve the issue of a possible textual dependence between Boethius and Apuleius, by pointing out a common exposition plan for categorical logic (proto-exposition of categorical logic).
