On Interpretation (De interpretatione)
Περὶ ἑρμηνείας
It studies the noun, the verb, affirmation and negation, and the relations between opposed propositions, the basis of the so-called square of opposition. It defines spoken words as symbols of affections of the soul and discusses modality (the possible and the necessary). Its chapter 9, on future contingents — whether it is already true or false that there will be a sea battle tomorrow — opened one of the longest debates in logic and theology, bound up with the question of freedom and divine foreknowledge.

Authorship note
A school treatise of the Aristotelian corpus, regarded as authentic. Like the other surviving treatises, it consists of Aristotle's own teaching materials rather than books meant for the public; the arrangement and titles largely derive from Andronicus of Rhodes's edition (first century BCE). Bekker 16a–24b.
