John Corcoran is a logician, philosopher and mathematician. He is best known for his philosophical work, helping us to understand such central concepts as the nature of inference, the relationship between logic and epistemology, and the place of proof theory and model theory in logic. His work on Aristotle’s logic of the Prior Analytics is regarded as being highly faithful both to the Greek text and to the historical context.

dbpprop:abstract
  • John Corcoran is a logician, philosopher and mathematician. He is best known for his philosophical work, helping us to understand such central concepts as the nature of inference, the relationship between logic and epistemology, and the place of proof theory and model theory in logic. His work on Aristotle’s logic of the Prior Analytics is regarded as being highly faithful both to the Greek text and to the historical context. It is the basis for many subsequent investigations and it was adopted for the 1989 translation of the Prior Analytics by Robin Smith.
  • John Corcoran ist ein bedeutender zeitgenössischer Logiker und Philosoph. Er hat sich hauptsächlich mit dem Verhältnis zwischen Logik und Epistemologie und der Bedeutung von Beweistheorie und Modelltheorie in der Logik beschäftigt. Seine Arbeit über Aristoteles' Logik der Analytica Priora hält sich genau an den Geist des griechischen Textes und den historischen Kontext. Sie ist Grundlage vieler weiterer Untersuchungen und wurde für die Übersetzung der Analytica Priora durch Robin Smith im Jahr 1989 verwendet.
