Aristotle, On Interpretation - Nouns, Verbs, and Sentences - Sadler's Lectures

April 27, 2026·11 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, On Interpretation, focusing on his discussion of nouns or names (omonata), verbs (rhemata) and sentences (logoi). Sentences are significant parts of speech, often composed of nouns and verbs, but not all of them are propositions (apophanseis), since they are not all affirmations or denials which have either truth or falsity to them.
