Opis

Among medieval studies, one of the areas of debate iswhether consequences arose from dialectic or fromPrior Analytic commentaries and the place ofmetaphysics in this development. The following workinvestigates this development using modal conditionalsemantics and consequences. The work suggestsconditional syllogistics led to the rise ofconsequences from both dialectic and developments inconditional expressions. Due to Aquinas emphasisupon metaphysics and his use of conditionalexpressions, Aquinas is an exceptional source for ascientific investigation. The following workillustrates Aquinas modal conditional semanticmetaphysics and its relation to consequences withinits Parisian context. The focus is specifically onthe metaphysics of modal semantics in hypotheticalmodal conditional enunciations and syllogistics usingthe topic from definition. This scientificinvestigation contributes to the history oflogic, the relationship between consequences, dialectic, metaphysics, and modal conditional expressions, and contemporary analytic research in conditional logic, language, and semantic theories in intensional logics.
