<br> [Whitaker's] commentary of the text is excellent and conservative. --The Review of Metaphysics<p><br>

detailed and well-argued study ... His commentary of the text is excellent and conservative, usually presenting a correct understanding of what Aristotle writes. Leo J. Elders, Albert E. Gunn and Staff In this beautifully lucid and carefully reasoned monograph, the conventional wisdom is triumphantly refuted. Whitaker takes us through the de Interpretatione chapter by chapter, displaying it as a sequence of lessons for would-be dialecticians. he casts much new light on the overall structure and purpose of the remarks... Before reading Whitaker, I too was in thrall to conventional wisdom; after reading Whitaker, things seemed to come into proper focus for the first time. Whitaker... uses his ingenuity to construct a reading that confronts, rather than evades, the subtleties of Aristotle's discussion, and to give, for the first time that I know of, a plausible account of them. Nicholas Denyer, Mind Vol.109 No.434
