Philosophy and Dialectics in Aristotle: a Synoptic Approach
Keywords:
Dialectics, Aristotle, endoxa, EpistemologyAbstract
This article addresses the question of the role and of the scope of dialectics in Aristotle’s philosophy, a problem that has been at the center of specialist literature on the topic for the last forty or fifty years. In the first part a summary of the contemporary debate is given and a distinction is drawn between three characteristic moments in it, which revolve around the problem of method in Aristotle’s philosophy. There then follows a sort of global reconstruction that takes a synoptic approach to the relationship between philosophy and dialectics in Aristotelian thought.Downloads
