The examinations of knowledge and science in the classical period are considered as a subject of the fields called epistemology or philosophy of science. In traditional philosophical understanding, there have been three fundamental subject matters titled ontology or metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology or practical philosophy. The problem where classical or Aristotelian logic stands in this trio classification of philosophy needs to be clarified. In recent centuries, classical logic has generally been tried to reduce to the classical period, that is, it has been left to history. It, of course, has an essential role redirecting of the scientific researches. In the classical era, scientific inquiries of knowledge have been discussed within the science logic, especially the fourth book of this science titled Posterior Analytics. This work named Kitāb al-Burhān in the Islamic world has always been the primary source of the science logic.
