 The purpose of Aristotle in his book “Analytics” is to discourse on the syllogistic potency (al-quwa al-qiyasiyya) because he considered that, if he discoursed on the action of the syllogistic potency, he had to do it on the syllogism, just as when he discoursed on the natural potency, he had to do it on medicine, that is its art. (IB-taaliq: 184. 7–9)
