This study shows that Aristotle consciously modeled his Underlying Logic, that \u003cem\u003ePrior Analytics\u003c\/em\u003e is a metasystematic discourse with \u003cem\u003eits own underlying logic\u003c\/em\u003e. The author clearly demonstrates that Aristotle conceived his logic as natural by explicating his notion of human cognition, central to which is his epistemic concern with syllogistic mediation that restricts a syllogism to two premises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe study further represents Aristotle's \u003cem\u003ephilosophy of logic\u003c\/em\u003e as having a fully developed \u003cem\u003eontology\u003c\/em\u003e that underlies the \u003cem\u003eepistemics\u003c\/em\u003e of syllogistic argumentation. It identifies his distinctions between \u003cem\u003esyntax\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003esemantics\u003c\/em\u003e and provides his definitions \u003cem\u003eof logical consequence\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ededucibility\u003c\/em\u003e to demonstrate his \u003cem\u003emetasystematic sophistication\u003c\/em\u003e. The study carefully sets out Aristotle's \u003cem\u003emetasystematic\u003c\/em\u003e analyses and \u003cem\u003ehis proof-theoretic demonstrations\u003c\/em\u003e of the logic's soundness and completeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike previous scholarship, this study works with the entire corpus of the \u003cem\u003eOrganon\u003c\/em\u003e - inclusive of \u003cem\u003eOn Expression, Predications, Topics, Sophistical Refutations\u003c\/em\u003e and chapters of \u003cem\u003eMetaphysics\u003c\/em\u003e - to assemble Aristotle's underlying logic \u003cem\u003ein Aristotle's own words\u003c\/em\u003e with extensive citation of primary texts. The translations are accompanied by the original Greek texts that serve as a ready resource for comparative analyses. For the translation of \u003cem\u003ePrior Analytics\u003c\/em\u003e, the Greek text and the translation appear on facing pages.
