Dialectic/Hare: dialectic is like dancing, a typical cooperative activity. It consists in testing the proposed representation of the use of a word by using the word as it is, and then sees what happens.
>Representation, >Words, >Use.

Most popular example (destructive): the definition of "correct" as "to tell the truth and return the lent": this was refuted by the example of the madman, to whom the weapons cannot be returned. (Reductio ad absurdum, Plato > State.) >Plato.
There is a narrow analogy of discovering with remembering something.
>Memory.
II 153
Hare: the philosopher does not create his own objects of investigation, nor does he/she receive them as mere empirical data. Nevertheless, the assertion that there are such operations as negation etc. is not more mysterious than the assertion that there is a certain dance.
But that is mysterious enough.
>Assertion, >Negation.
