Abstract
One of the crucial problems concerning Aristotle's modal logic is the incompatibility of his claims about the necessity and his teachings in the case of absolute syllogism. This problem has led to many controversies since Aristotle time, and most researchers have come to the conclusion that Aristotle’s modal logic is contradictory. This article attempts through a new reading, which is as compatible as possible with Aristotle's claims, and based on his works and also his closer interpreters’ works such as Alexander of Aphrodisias, explains transferring necessity from a necessary premise to the conclusion and shows how Aristotle's viewpoint makes our argument possible and sound.
