dc.description.abstract
a) Topics and Objectives: Dialectical topoi constitute an essential component
of Aristotelian logic and theory of argumentation (dialectics). These can be
characterized as essential patterns of argumentation which allow us to found
premises which are suited to the establishment of specific theses. Our
research group concentrates on two themes: the first working focus consists of
a precise investigation of the topos-based dialectical logic found in
Aristotle. We are concerned in particular with the dialectical texts contained
in the Organon (Topics, Rhetoric, Sophistical Refutations), and we are
considering their relationship to the formal logic developed in the Prior
Analytics. The second focus of our work is an investigation of the reception
of Aristotelian dialectics in the Renaissance. Occurring in the 16th century
was in intensive reception of the Aristotelian Topics, as suggested by
numerous new translations and commentaries. We are concentrating on the
relationship between veritas/scientia and opinio/probabilitas in the
epistemology of the Renaissance. In particular, we are interested in the
question of how the dialectics and rhetoric of the Renaissance were influenced
by the form and genre of the dialogue, and in the role played in the
Renaissance by the spatial dimension, which is contained both in Aristotle’s
definition of the topos as the »place from which the attack comes«, as well as
in Cicero’s definition of the locus as the »seat of the argument« (sedes
argumentorum). b) Methods: Relevant passages from the texts of the
Aristotelian Organon are analyzed and set into relationship with one another.
Consulted in particular in interpreting these texts is the inventory of 20th
century theories dealing with logic and argumentation; modern mereological and
topological systems, for example, are used in reconstructing Aristotelian
logic, albeit without overlooking the historical specificity of the problems
that are bound up with these antique texts. c) State of the Discussion: The
group has concluded that Aristotelian formal logic is dependent upon and was
shaped in various ways by topos-based dialectical logic. Aristotelian
predication theory, for example, plays a decisive role for various aspects of
the Aristotelian syllogistic which is contained in the Prior Analytics. Beyond
this, the group has demonstrated that interpretations of the Aristotelian
Topics made an essential contribution to the emergence of a relativistic
epistemology in the Renaissance. The status of opinio/probabilitas in the
Renaissance, for example, was influenced by interpretations of the
Aristotelian concept of endoxon.
