Gleanings in Dialectics

Preface to the work titled Epiphyllides Supplements. Human study.
Chapter one: Whence the first philosophers were moved to constitute a syllogism, and of which part of the soul is this work. I am not unaware of Alfarabi Al-Farabi (c. 872–950), major Islamic philosopher.
Chapter two: How the syllogism can be shown, which is against the restrictive philosophers, and a rebuke of the solution of John the Grammarian John Philoponus (c. 490–570), a Neoplatonic philosopher. What in the previous chapter.
Chapter three: What invention and judgment are, how they are natural to man, and the difference between Plato and Aristotle in the term of dialectical resolution. We have already seen that.
Chapter four: What a proposition is and what its names are, with a rebuke of Alexander Alexander of Aphrodisias (fl. 200 AD), commentator on Aristotle concerning the definition of a proposition. Because we do not think.
Chapter five: He rebukes the younger ones concerning the definition of a proposition and what triple figure is constituted from the composition of propositions with one another. Thus far it is sufficient.
Chapter six: What is the major extreme and what is the minor in any figure, and which one is natural. Because in the figures.
Chapter seven: What philosopher is a geometres geometer, and how geometric figures are described. As the philosopher says.
Chapter eight: What the second and third figure is, that it is necessary, and a rebuke of Herminius A 2nd-century commentator on Aristotle concerning the major and minor extreme in them. If for anyone.
Chapter nine: He posits the origin of other figures from the first, and the combinations which can be made in each of them. We will say in what way.
Chapter ten: He refutes the error of Alfarabi that it is not syllogized from two negatives by the "dictum de omni" the statement about all, and an explanation of the "dictum de omni." Because Alfarabi.
Chapter eleven: Why Alexander changed the order in the syllogisms of the third figure and how it can be saved. And if the order of the modes.
Chapter twelve: He poses a doubt about the number of syllogisms of the third figure and some of its properties. We have in this place.
Chapter thirteen: Why in some non-syllogizing modes it is not to abound in "of all" and "of none" being present, and why it is shown through two contraries rather than collected, and a rebuke of Herminius. It is not the soul that is the mind.
Chapter fourteen: He rebukes the younger ones because the necessary does not follow from what is permitted, nor does anything follow from the impossible. If anyone diligently.
