Resumo: | I defend an interpretation of Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics Book I which distinguishes between two projects in different passages of that work: (i) to explain what a given science is and (ii) to explain what properly scientific knowledge is. I present Aristotle’s theory in answer to ii, with special attention to his definition of scientific knowledge in 71b9-12 and showing how this is developed on chapters 1.2-9 and 1.13 into a solid Theory of Scientific Demonstration. The main point of this theory is that demonstrations need to capture relevant explanations. Some formal requirements of the demonstration (as the syllogistic structure and coextension between terms) are unfoldings of the main project, 1.e., to capture and present properly relevant causal-explanatory relations. |

Exponho a teoria de Aristóteles que responde à questão ii, com especial atenção à definição de conhecimento científico em 71b9-12 e mostrando como isso se desdobra ao longo dos capítulos 1.2-9 e 1.13 em uma consistente Teoria da Demonstração Científica. O principal ponto dessa teoria é que demonstrações precisam capturar explicações relevantes. Alguns requisitos formais (como a estrutura silogística e a coextensão de termos) são desdobramentos do alvo principal, a saber, capturar e expor de forma apropriada relações causais-explanatórias relevantes.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2020-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigoshttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/2819710.14195/1984-249X_30_21Revista Archai; No. 30 (2020): Archai 30 (2020 [3]); e03021Archai Journal; n. 30 (2020): Archai 30 (2020 [3]); e030211984-249X2179-496010.14195/1984-249X_30reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/28197/26457Copyright (c) 2020 Davi Bastoshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBastos, Davi2020-08-06T12:00:40Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/28197Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2020-08-06T12:00:40Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false |
