Leonardi.DB: A Database of Aristotelian Diagrams
View through CrossRef
Aristotelian diagrams, such as the square of opposition, are among the oldest and most well-known types of logical diagrams. Within the burgeoning research program of logical geometry, we have been developing a comprehensive database of Aristotelian diagrams that occur in the extant literature: Leonardi.DB (the Leuven Ontology for Aristotelian Diagrams, and its corresponding Database). In this talk, which is based on joint work with Hans Smessaert, I will present Leonardi.DB to the universal logic research community. We describe the philosophical background and main motivations for Leonardi.DB, focusing on how the database provides a solid empirical foundation for theoretical research within logical geometry. We also discuss some of the main methodological and technical aspects of the database development. As a proof-of-concept, we provide some examples of the new kinds of research that will be facilitated by Leonardi.DB, e.g., regarding broad trends in the usage and visual properties of Aristotelian diagrams.
