Aristotle and the universal-particular duality
Volume 14, Issue 2 , January 2024
Abstract

Abstract
Aristotle and Peripatetics used topoi as the strategies of debate, but Avicenna changed their function to the fallacies of definition. This is one of his outstanding innovations to which the modern scholars didn’t pay attention. This innovation, on one hand, is related to Avicenna’s logical ...
