Aristotle's Posterior Analytics

Aristotle's "Posterior Analytics" explores how we gain knowledge through reasoning and experience. He distinguishes between different types of knowledge: knowing "how" to do something (practical knowledge) and knowing "that" something is the case (theoretical knowledge). Aristotle emphasizes the importance of demonstrative reasoning, which starts from established truths (premises) to reach new conclusions. He also discusses the role of definitions and scientific laws in understanding the world. Overall, the work outlines a systematic approach to acquiring knowledge, highlighting the interplay between observation and logical reasoning.
