Ce n'est qu'à une époque relativement récente qu'on a vraiment commencé à s'intéresser à l'histoire de la logique. Jusqu'au milieu du XIXe siècle régnait en effet l'idée que la logique n'avait pas d'histoire, étant, pour l'essentiel, sortie « close et achevée » de l'esprit d' Aristote. Le renouveau de la logique depuis 1850 environ a peu à peu permis de replacer Aristote dans une perspective historique.

It's wonderful that he inspires intermediaries to bring his thought to modern-day readers, but his cogent and humane work doesn't strictly need intermediaries. He remains ready to help you directly."
