Abstract

In the first part of our investigation we explicated the sense predelineated for traditional formal logic by the Aristotelian analytics. Formal logic presented itself as a completely separate science. We brought to light the sharp essential delimitation of its province and likewise the strata-disciplines combined a priori within it by founding. We also learned to understand its perfectly correlated and therefore equivalent themes (as formal apophantics and as formal ontology), which allow us to speak of one logic treated in two attitudes.
