Descrizione

In this paper, I I will analyze 15th century commentaries on book one of Aristotle’s Topics produced by Parisian and Cologne masters, with a special emphasis on how commentator interpreted the opening lines of the Topics, in which it is addressed the fundamental question concerning the subject matter of the Topics, and, more generally, of dialectic. Do Aristotle’s book and dialectic deal with dialectical syllogism or, rather, with dialectical argumentation? Realists authors acknowledged dialectical syllogism as the subject of study of dialectic, thus limiting the field of inquiry of this discipline to the formally valid arguments. In the second part of the paper, which will be published soon, I will show how Buridan’s influence inspired some authors to develop interesting interpretations of Aristotle’s Topics and interesting reflections about the role assigned to dialectic, whose subject matter is considered the dialectical argumentation.
