A note on Aristotle's theory of definition and scientific explanation
pp. 207-217
Abstrakt
The purpose of the paper is to show (1) that Aristotle had a kind of criterion of non-creativity in his theory of definition and (2) that he had a requirement for scientific explanations which amounts to finding an interpolation-sentence. The relevant passages can be found in the Posterior Analytics, second book, especially chapters 2, 7, 8, 13.
