On Interpretation

On Interpretation, written by Aristotle in the 4th century BCE, is a foundational text in Western philosophy that explores the relationship between language and logic. It is part of his Organon, focusing on categoric propositions and the classification of linguistic forms such as terms and propositions. The work introduces key concepts such as the Square of Opposition and the distinction between universal and particular propositions, which are essential to modern logic. Notably, it addresses the Problem of Future Contingents and includes the famous discussion of the sea-battle, highlighting the complexities of modality.
