Abstract
The Aristotelian doctrine of fallacies found in the Sophistical Refutations cannot be understood without referring to the Topics. In this paper we attempt to show that, in this last work, there is an implicit "logic of predicables", which can explain in a very convincing way some of those fallacies, like those of accident, of consequent, secundum quid ad simpliciter and babbling. At the same time, we present the main ingredients of this logic and we discuss some modern solutions to those sophisms.
