Boger findet Argumente für die Modernität der aristotelischen Logik, insbesondere für die Unterscheidung von Syntax und Semantik bei Aristoteles. Die Instrumente der modernen mathematischen Logik erschliessen Aspekte des aristotelischen Denkens, die vorher weitgehend übersehen worden waren.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEA. G. J. Newstead gibt eine mehr philosophische Untersuchung der bei Aristoteles auftretenden Begriffe wie ``in Teilbares teilbar'' und ``sich anschliessendes'' mit dem Versuch, diese mit modernen mathematischen Begriffen, insbesondere solchen von G. Cantor, in Beziehung zu setzen.
