Definición

  • Dialectic is a method or set of methods that is meant to provide a definition of a thing or a concept, which it achieves by reference to opposites in a discursive, step-by-step process of reasoning, through a number of questions and answers. Dialectic first appeared in ancient Greek philosophy and was rethought in its meaning and in its use throughout the history of philosophy, often in critical response to other thinkers.
