organon

also - just to make sure i'm not retarded - aristotle on logic is often used as a synonym for the six books of the organon, no?

Why do you want to read him (his logic in particular)?

>aristotle on logic is often used as a synonym for the six books of the organon, no?

Presumably.

interested in epistemology, and starting with the greeks - yeah im reading the SEP articles, thanks

>epistemology
You better have read Theaetetus

>>8347253
yeah, i did

>>8347261
I ought to read it again. I've forgotten most of the arguments.

Wasn't the theory that Plato implied was the "best" observation with validation/back-up? or something like that?

>>8347263
uh, kind of, if i understand you correctly - but they're all wrong. you sound like you read a lot of plato - are any of his late dialogues particularly worth reading (Critias, Sophist, Statesman / Politicus, Timaeus , Philebus, Laws)? i'm not really interested in political philosophy at all, but would be interested to see if/how the dialogues change in the "later" dialogues...

If I recall correctly, yes they were all wrong, but I think that one was most "right"

>you sound like you read a lot of plato

No actually. I've read a bit, but I'm a layman just like you.

>are any of his late dialogues particularly worth reading

I haven't read that many, but Statesman/Sophist are worth reading if you're interested in pre-aristotlean methods of logic. Sophist specifically if you want to know why Sophists were looked down on, and get a better idea of what a Philosopher should be.

Timaeus/Critias I haven't read yet, but from what I know they're very important to the Neo-Platonists.

I'm actually about to start reading Philebus, from what I know it's worth reading if you're interested in ethics (of the more Socratic kind) and ontology.

I still dream of Organon.
I wake up crying.
You're making rain
And you're just in reach
When you and sleep escape me...
