On Interpretation



Aristotle's work On Interpretation (Greek Περι Ερμηνειας or Peri Hermeneias, Latin De Interpretatione) is one of the earliest extant philosophical works in the Western tradition to treat the relationship between linguistics and logic in something that approaches a comprehensive, explicit, and formal way. The contemporary philosophical discipline of hermeneutics borrows a little from this fountainhead, but more specifically turns to the question of interpreting texts, initially concentrating on the major streams of religious liturgy, but later branching out to a far broader range of cultural alluvia.
