Resumen
BERRON, MANUEL. Elements for an Alternative Reading of Aristotle's Axiomatics. The Case of On the Heavens I. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2015, vol.64, n.159, pp.7-32. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v64n159.39911.
The standard notion of axiomatics attributed to Aristotle presupposes a set of basic propositions on the basis of which a larger set of derived propositions is inferred. This is known as the principle of parsimony. Moreover, the knowledge of principles is limited to direct intellectual apprehension. Our objective is to demonstrate that said attributions are not correct in the case of On the Heavens I and to provide elements for what could be understood as axiomatization in Aristotle. To that effect we reconstruct the arguments set forth in some passages of On the Heavens I.
