abstract   bibtex   
Scholz develops axiomatic theory in a wider sense: study of the elements of any exact science, i.e. of any science taking mathematics as its pattern. He also compares it with the modern theory (Hilbert) saying that modern theories are much cleverer, but that Aristotle's theory is still almost sound and has a lot of interesting and plausible features.
