Abstract
This study of Aristotle’s theory of demonstration has been concerned with the theoretical relationship between Aristotle’s logic and his theory of proof. In accounting for this relationship, I have attempted to uncover the presuppositions that relate Aristotle’s notion of knowledge to the logical structure of demonstrations. This analysis concludes that Aristotle conceives of knowledge as conceptualization and the demonstrative procedure as establishing conceptual relations. Having established this contention through an examination of particular problems that Posterior Analytics arises, I turn now to consider it in more general terms.
