The Genesis of logic – Antiquity

Abstract

Logic is one of the oldest sciences. The study of its origin is not only extremely interesting, but also important in the context of understanding its essence. Logic as a science arose in antiquity. Famous representatives of those times considered logic, pointing to its great importance and the ability to apply. Aristotle is considered to be the creator of logic as a scientific discipline. However, even before the activity of the Stagirite, other philosophers also dealt with logic. In this article, it was decided to present the history of logic, covering the epoch of antiquity. The basic merits of individual representatives of this period were discussed, taking into account their deliberations on logic. The authors of the study do not, however, pretend to comprehensively present the views of ancient thinkers. It is not easy to describe in detail the positions and reflections on the logic of individual representatives of the antiquity in one article. Due to the limited framework of the study, the article briefly discusses the indicated topics.
