        Aristotle- father of logic, II
                 
        Who was the mother of this antique born child – logic?               
    As for the contemporary philosophy this antique marriage is important  because it has become almost a habit in many contemporary philosophical teachings, specially from Wittgenstein further on to consider and treat the logic at first place of any starting point analyses  or at least equal to epistemology and analyses of mind (thinking) even together with the analyses of language ; in those antique  times there is no doubt that Aristotle considered the logic as we know it - or Organon  - as a toll only subordinated to a natural reflexive mind which can establish fist principles (Philosophia prima) and which actually was the real name for metaphysics given by the Aristotle. Of course from argumentative point of view no authority should be taken as a guarantee to support some stands, accordingly he shouldn’t be taken as such; but it is not about   authority he leaved to us as it is about spirit he had been lead by and which is now lost and forgiven trough the corridors of science and thick layers of civilization. Today’s logic or non- traditional logic, specially today’s semantics and semiotics might hardly give a better or more firm position for a starting point analyses to the philosophical knowledge than it was elaborated  within the standards of traditional logic. While we think within frames of these new disciplines aiming to make more firm ground for knowledge actually we already affirm the knowledge, its independency and natural ability to perceive and see the rules, forms of the mind and the laws of world. Logic in antic times was considered just as a birth from a mind and previous philosophies he was in love with - no superiority was given to her but it was considered just as a child yet needed to be carried out by his upper instance - mind itself.
