Abstract

This paper’s aim is to consider the I 6 methodological prescription and its relationship with Allan’s quasi-mathematical method theory, which aims at bringing Aristotle closer to an Euclidean model. I will also consider Karbowski’s objections to Allan and his own thesis, which holds that it is possible to treat book II in accordance with prescription I 6, always going through the vaguest opinions and definitions first only then to the most accurate.
