Abstract

The review of modern critique of traditional logic is the answer to a philosophical question: is it or is it not the uselessness of Aristotelian logic to innovate or increase knowledge, supposed by Bacon (in the “Aphorisms” of the Novum Organum ) and by Descartes (in the second part of the Discours de la méthode ), a sufficient reason to discredit this method as the foundation of science? The answer that is argued in this essay is negative. The futility of Aristotelian logic to innovate or increase knowledge, supposed by Bacon and Descartes, is not a sufficient reason to discredit this method as the foundation of science, because its useful link with it is not reduced to innovative progress.
