On the seducing taste for arguments: Antilogic, Eristic and Philosophy
Keywords:
Antilogic, eristic, dialectic, refutationAbstract
Antilogic was an activity practiced in Plato’s time, and it was often mistaken for the activity of philosophy and dialectic. If we pay close attention to certain passages in the Platonic dialogues, we can see that, although these activities deal with logos, especially in the case of refutation, they differ in their methods and objectives.Downloads
