message: The following text also added by Gubbubu (see above) has also been omitted: 
:"Scientific relevancy of Organon is so great: in that we can find the first ontological category theory (relevant in some branches of intensional logic), the first development of formal logic, the first known serious scientific inquisitions on the theory of (formal and informal) reasoning, the foundations of modal logic, and some antecedents of methodology of sciences.:
Was this intentional? The writing could be cleaned up a bit, but if accurate this information seems relevant, but it should probably be sourced as well. In any case some assessment of the historical importance of the work would be good. Paul August  ☎ 19:47, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
::I moved this text to Aristotelian logic (I thought my edit summary said that, but I guess I was rather vague).  I've been trying to make this article very narrow: what is in the books, how they are organised, how they came to be organised, with exegesis of their comment and broader discussions of their significance going in the other two articles. --- Charles Stewart 20:18, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: The logical square, also called square of opposition or square of Apuleius has its origin in the four marked sentences to be employed in syllogistic reasoning: Every man is white, the universal affirmative and its negation  Not every man is white (or Some men are not white), the particular negative on the one hand, Some men are white, the particular affirmative and its negation No man is white, the universal negative on the other. Robert Blanché  published with Vrin his Structures intellectuelles in 1966 and since then  many scholars think that the logical square representing four values should be replaced by the logical hexagon which by representing six values is a more potent figure because it has the power to explain more things about logic and natural language. The study of the four propositions constituting the square is found in Chapter 7 and its appendix Chapter 8. Most important also is the immediately following Chapter 9 dealing with the problem of future contingents. This chapter and the subsequent ones are at the origin of modal logic. Perhaps Blanché's hexagon is particularly useful in the domain of modal logic in so far as it explains clearly the nature and importance of the bilateral possible. The notion of bilateral possible is crucially important to understand both logic and natural language when applied to modal values.

message: I have created an article for Logical hexagon and refactored a large amount of material contributed by User:Jean KemperNN. The material is wonderful, but I think it is more appropriate in its own article.Greg Bard (talk) 22:59, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
