The first thing one has to know before reading Aristotles works is that he is a very schematic thinker who views all the aspects of knowledge related to each other forming a tidy whole. This will bring us to understand that he does not view logic as the great science nor as a separate matter, but just as a branch of that organized whole called science. In this sense, Aristotle did not believe that logic would be a further science to prove human knowledge but just a resource to elaborate a theory or a system that guided investigation, classification, and evaluation of the good and bad ways of reasoning. The aim of this writing is to reveal Aristotles conception of logic, or Aristotles logic, that, as some authors have seen, is not the same as what have been usually called Aristotelian logic.
