Logic and Ancient Philosophy - A

Stoic Logic. Commentators of the 19th and the early 20th century chastised Stoic logic as dull and uninteresting. Its revaluation, due mainly to the pioneering studies of Jan Łukasiewicz and Benson Mates, was made possible by the development of propositional logic, which enabled historians to attain a better grasp of what the Stoics were up to.   

During the course, students will also have the chance to present some relevant literature on stoic logic. All the participants in the course are expected to read in advance the essays that will presented and actively participate in the discussion.
