1. Dialectic
- humanities.byu.edu
- Dialectic.
- Dialectic is the art of logical argumentation. ... Like rhetoric, dialectic is concerned with persuasion and logical proof and takes into account opposing viewpoints on a given issue (see in utrumque partes). ...
- However, unlike rhetoric, dialectic is restricted to issues of argumentation, proof, and the methods and fallacies of logical reasoning. Dialectic does not theorize the use of emotion (except as a fallacy), nor does it concern itself with audiences or with contexts (see kairos) as does rhetoric. ...
- At times in the history of rhetoric dialectic has been conceived of as a counterpart (antistrophos) to rhetoric; at times, it has competed with rhetoric. Those who have emphasized the centrality or priority of dialectic over rhetoric (such as Plato or Peter Ramus in the Renaissance) have done so by reducing rhetoric to being concerned only with style, or with managing appearances and manipulating audiences. ...
- Rhetoric has borrowed from dialectic several terms relating to argumentation, including pistis (proof), apodeixis (logical demonstration), and enthymeme (informal reasoning).
2. Dialectic Materialism

- Dialectic Materialism.
- Rejects a mechanistic materialism (which reduces ideas to matter) but also an idealist dialectic (Hegel's idea that a thesis produces its antithesis and that the conflict between the two eventually produces a synthesis). ... Here's where the dialectic comes in: because of the contradictions in the unity, there is a conflict of opposites which motors a historical process of constant change; per classical Marxism (though not per L&M), that change is progressive. In Hegel the dialectic works totally in the realm of the ideal; in Marx the whole point of the dialectic is material, i. ...

- Dialectic - What is it?.
- OVERVIEW - Dialectic - What is it? - Broadly speaking, a dialectic is an exchange of propositions and counter-propositions resulting in a synthesis of the opposing assertions or at least a qualitative transformation of the direction of the dialogue. -- When using the word "dialectic" philosophers usually refer to either the Socratic dialectical method of cross-examination, or to Hegel's dialectical model of history. When using the word "dialectic" philosophers usually refer to either the Socratic dialectical method of cross-examination, or to Hegel's dialectical model of history. ...
- Socratic Dialectic .
- Hegelian Dialectic .
- Although Hegel never used such a classification himself, Hegel's dialectic is often described as consisting of three stages: a thesis, an antithesis which contradicts or negates the thesis, and a synthesis embodying what is essential to each. In the Logic, for instance, Hegel describes a dialectic of existence: first, existence must be posited as pure Being (thesis); but pure Being, upon examination, is found to be indistinguishable from Nothing (antithesis); yet both Being and Nothing are united as Becoming (synthesis), when it is realized that what is coming into being is, at the same time, also returning to nothing (consider life: old organisms die as new organisms are created or born). ...
- Like Socratic dialectic, Hegel's dialectic proceeds by making implicit contradictions explicit: each stage of the process is the product of contradictions inherent or implicit in the preceding stage. For Hegel, the whole of western history is one tremendous dialectic, the largest moments of which chart a progression from self-alienation as slavery to self-unification and realization as the rational, constitutional state of free and equal citizens. ...

- Find books about Dialectic .
- As with many specialist words used by philosophers (such as “ideology” and “alienation”), “dialectic” has accumulated different meanings throughout time. Indeed, the linguistic history of “dialectic” curiously intersects with one of its meanings: historical change. Because the history of “dialectic” is complicated, we will limit the bulk of our discussion to three areas: 1) the origins of dialectical thinking in Ancient Greece; 2) “dialectic” as it was understood by the German Idealist philosophers Kant and Hegel; and 3) “dialectic” as it was understood by Marx. Furthermore, we will look at both the form and content of these different understandings of dialectic, and we will show how philosophers have employed dialectical thinking to approach the “problem of opposites”—that is, how they have used dialectic to understand the traditional philosophical oppositions between change and stability, appearance and reality, mind and matter, universal and particular, etc.
- Many know that Plato (circa 428-348 BC) coined the word dialectic to signify a method of argumentation in a question and answer format – the Socratic dialogue. However, this form of dialectic, which is to be distinguished from the content, was not first developed by either Socrates or Plato. ... Zeno’s dialectic had its roots in the thought of his teacher Parmenides who was reacting against the philosophy of Heraclitus of Ephesus. ...
- Plato’s philosophy aims to gain insight into truth, and it attempts to do so by employing logic, reason and dialectic. ...
- Throughout the dark ages sources suggest that dialectic signified any and all of the following related activities: formal logic, argument, formal reasoning, and rhetorical debate. ... Abelard (1079-1142), a student of Roscelin’s, wrote a text entitled Sic et Non, literally So and No, a title which in three short words explains the medieval meaning of dialectic with remarkable clarity. ...
- With the publication of Immanuel Kant’s (1724-1804) Critique of Pure Reason in 1781 it might be said, as Hegel did say, that the triadic form of dialectic (thesis, antithesis, synthesis) was rediscovered. ... In the third section of the Critique, “Transcendental Dialectic”, Kant outlined his critique of reason using the dialectical form. ...
- In the above example, “dialectic” connotes contradiction, but Kant was interested in transcendental dialectic, in other words, a way of thinking that goes beyond these fundamental oppositions. ... Kant’s transcendental dialectic, because it shows the limitations of reason, insists those limitations are essential to reason, opening up a space beyond formal reason, a space inhabited by real people performing real moral actions and making real moral decisions. ...
12. Deron Boyles - Sophistry, Dialectic, and Teacher Education: A Reinterpretation of Plato's Meno
- www.ed.uiuc.edu
- Sophistry, Dialectic, and Teacher Education:.
- 1 This essay argues for a rereading of Meno, and in the process of highlighting the overall dialogue, attempts to achieve two specific goals: (1) reviving Plato's indictment of sophistry as an important and timely way to investigate what it means to achieve a deeper sensibility of teaching and learning; and (2) demonstrating that the Socrates/slave-boy "dialectic" is actually a display of sophistry, for sophists, to demonstrate the flaws of sophistry. By offering such an interpretation as (2), an argument is made against sophistry and for authentic dialectic (versus Socratic dialectic) in contemporary schools. To have authentic dialectic in American schools, teacher-education programs should engage teachers and prospective teachers in the kind of dialectic for which this essay argues. ...
- Typically given, this essay calls these points into question in order to reveal the actual purpose of the episode: sophistry and dialectic. ...
- The Point: Dialectic as Sophistic Practice.
- Within the framework of what appears on the surface to be Socratic dialectic (where a questioner questions and an answerer answers and that's it), Socrates leads the slave boy on a journey to recall geometric truths. Two points, then, stand or fall together: Socratic dialectic as non-dialectic, and the Theory of Recollection. ...
- Socratic dialectic is questioning and answering, definitionally role-oriented (that is, a questioner questions and answerer answers), but the kinds of responses Socrates elicits are merely factual and come about from empirical demonstration rather than from rational means. ...
- Yet, if the dialectic is reread in light of sophistic procedures and the narrowly focused content, the scene offers a new point. Specifically, if Socrates' part of the dialectic is edited out (and Meno's few lines are also eliminated), the dialectic reveals a different meaning: the dialectic demonstrates sophistry. Witness the slave boy's part of the dialectic: I do. ...
- " He is, instead, the object of Socrates' leading questions, which, while they superficially exemplify Socratic dialectic, actually represent sophistry. ...
- Because the dialectic is now suspect, so too must be the Theory of Recollection. ...
- Yet this essay submits a different point: by understanding another interpretation of the Socrates/slave boy scene in Meno, the value of authentic dialectic is set against the illustration of sophistry embedded in the Socrates/slave boy scene. Authentic dialectic requires the slave boy to be an active questioner with Socrates. Further, authentic dialectic requires for the slave boy the opportunity to say "no. " Without authentic dialectic, training institutionalizes itself, and as a result, non-critical citizenship and political as well as capitalist hegemony flourish. ...
