What Should Be Included in a Presentation on Aristotle's Logic?

[dekoi]

I was hesitant to post this thread in this specific forum. Although i do not think it would be appropriate in the more physics-centered Homework Help forum.

I am creating an outline (as well as a précis) for a short 10 minute presentation i have to have finished in a couple of days. The topic is Aristotle's Logic -- although it is a shortened version due to the time limit.

So far i have an introduction to what logic is and why it is important, Primary Rule of logic (law of non-contradiction), and descriptions/examples of Immediate Inference and Syllogistic Reasoning.

My question is: What other important aspects of Aristotle's Logic should i include in this presentation?

And while on the topic, would anyone have an understanding of what this equation means. It should be on the topic of logical assertion.

\vdash \left( (\vdash p)\rightarrow(p \pmod 2 \equiv 0) \right)

Thank you as always.

\vdash \left( (\vdash p)\rightarrow(p \pmod 2 \equiv 0) \right)

... means :
\vdash \left( (\vdash p)\rightarrow 1-no \rightarrow yes
Therefore, left side = yes.
Now the right side, (p \pmod 2 \equiv 0) \right) is valid, since 'mod2' = 0 (mod'even'=0, mod'odd'=1 right?).

Am i correct with this information?

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but it has not been answered in many days.

As for,

My question is: What other important aspects of Aristotle's Logic should i include in this presentation?

I am still open for suggestions.

Firstly, I would like to commend you for choosing such an interesting topic for your presentation. Aristotle's Logic is a fundamental aspect of philosophy and understanding it can greatly enhance one's critical thinking skills.

In addition to the Primary Rule of logic and Immediate Inference and Syllogistic Reasoning, there are a few other important aspects of Aristotle's Logic that you could include in your presentation. These include the Four Causes, the Three Act Theory of the Mind, and the distinction between Necessary and Contingent truths. These concepts provide a deeper understanding of Aristotle's approach to logic and can add more depth to your presentation.

As for the equation you mentioned, it is a symbolic representation of a logical assertion. The symbol \vdash represents logical entailment, which means that the statement on the right side of the symbol follows logically from the statements on the left side. In this case, the statement on the right side is a conditional statement, which means that if the statement on the left side (p) is true, then the statement on the right side (p \pmod 2 \equiv 0) must also be true. This equation is a way of expressing the logical relationship between two statements.

I hope this helps in your presentation preparation. Good luck!
