Aristotle’s principles of science: The solution for the puzzles in Posterior Analytics, A.2 ‎& A.10.‎

Aristotle, in Posterior Analytics, A.2‎‏,‏‎ introduces the principles of science. In Post An, ‎A10, He describes three kinds of foundations of science. There seem to be some ‎discrepancies between the classification in A.2 and three kinds of the foundations in ‎A.10. It is also not clear which of these principles and foundations can have all the ‎features of a premise of science. This paper represents the puzzles that arise in ‎interpreting the texts in question. It describes the Aristotle’s principles of science and ‎suggests that only one kind of them can be considered as a premise of science; the ‎principles that assume both the subject of science is and what it is. It is necessary to ‎distinguish between Aristotle's premises of science, the foundations of science and the ‎prior knowledge. The puzzles are solved with the help of this distinction and notes ‎from other texts in Post An. So a consistent interpretation between A.2 and A.10 is ‎achieved. The proper interpretation helps to understand Aristotle’s epistemology ‎correctly.‎
