Abstract

Almost all the chapters of this book have appeared earlier as separate articles in American and Finnish journals between 1957 and 1971, but are now reprinted together as dealing with Aristotle’s theory of modal notions and its underlying doctrines and assumptions. Recital of the chapter headings illustrates the scope of the book: "Aristotle and the Ambiguity of Ambiguity" ; "Aristotle’s Different Possibilities" ; "On the Interpretation of De Interpretatione 12-13" ; "Time, Truth and Knowledge in Aristotle and Other Greek Philosophers" ; "Aristotle on the Realization of Possibilities in Time" ; "Aristotelian Infinity" ; "On Aristotle’s Modal Syllogistic" ; "The Once and Future Sea Fight: Aristotle’s Discussion of Future Contingents in De Interpretatione 9" ; and "Aristotle and the ‘Master Argument’ of Diodorus". The volume ends with "Index of Texts" cited from Aristotle and other Greek authors and "General Index".
