Focusing on Aristotle's modal syllogistic, this volume offers a straightforward interpretation using standard predicate logic, addressing longstanding debates about its coherence. Rini introduces a distinction between 'red terms', which denote essential features, and 'green terms', which refer to non-essential characteristics. By applying this framework to the Prior Analytics, he clarifies traditional interpretive challenges, unveiling the underlying simplicity of Aristotle's proofs. This work is essential for those studying the history of logic, Aristotle's modality, and philosophy of logic.
