Easy science

This assay is about a method that Aristotle has tough to a easy demonstration of logic and science, this book is entitled Analytic first, and describes the method about the logical think and a way very simple to reach it; until begin it starts: “…this research is concentrated about demonstration and it is corresponds to demonstrative science, and after they must explain what is a proposition and word and syllogism, what is perfect and imperfect…”; why this simplicity? It is very easy method and unworthy credibility; but why Aristotle has been so elementary? I think because he has wanted render very simple a concepts, that would be difficult. Demonstration of this think is given by simplicity of description of this concept: “The proposition is a discourse affirmative or negative of something about something, it is universal or particular or indefinite. I claim universal something that is in everything or nothing; particular is in something or not is in everything indefinite…appertain or not without universal…” this easy concept necessary to Aristotle to explain elementary thing, is useful to show simple and obvious think; but why son simple. Aristotle had great merit of simplify explication very difficult, so that everyman could consider and speculatively learn, this is through observation of reality; and this method is a simplification of science, as syllogism, that very easy shows its nature: “Proposition syllogistic will be a affirmation or negation of something about something, on contrary it will be demonstrative if true and learned to that”, I call word where proposition is solved, for example: the predicate is predicated with or not be. Syllogism id a discourse to set something follows other, because to presence of these thing other followed…”, it is normal, certainly but Aristotle has simplified because he wanted give very easy all science; then syllogism is very simple because it is method alone. He simplified more: “ I call perfect syllogism that hasn’t  need of other words or concept…”, then he has made a method to science and he has given it to everyman.
