Aristotle's Logical Doctrine Transformation in Abu Nasr al-Farabi's Works

Abstract: The article demonstrates that the logical teaching of Aristotle has undergone a significant transformation in the teachings of the Eastern peripatetics, especially in Al-Farabi’s logic. The new discoveries made by Al-Farabi in the theory of logic are analyzed: the ratio of grammatical and logical structures, the introduction of a connecting particle into the structure of a judgment, consideration of new modes of separating-categorical syllogism. It is shown that a new attitude has been formed towards the meaning of logic as a methodology of science and propaedeutics, as well as its essential practical application.
