Abstract
If logic is a science, it must stand in definite relations to other sciences. Either it is identical with some other or subordinated to some other, or at least it is distinguished from other sciences in a determined way. To understand how St. Thomas considers logic to be related to other sciences would throw much light upon his conception of logic itself. And its relations to other sciences will appear if we can discover where he places it in his general classification of sciences.
