Aristotle's Syllogistic From the Standpoint of Modern Formal Logic
by: Jan Lukasiewicz

Hardcover. UK, Oxford University Press, 2nd Ed., 1958, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, blue cloth with gilt lettering on spine, 222 pages. Presents a nice and very readable exposition of Aristotle's work on logic. It can even be considered as a completion of the Organon, with a very sharp critical aparatus. Lukasiewicz worked all his life on Aristotle's syllogistic and this book, whose second edition was published shortly after his death, can be considered as a summary of his long time thinkings about that. Even if Lukasiewicz did not publish anything else, he would enter history because of this book. A note about editions: the second edition has enlarged the first with the addition of three chapters on the modal logic of Aristotle, so it differs from the first.
