Aristotle on Dialectic - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 370 Dialectic/Aristotle/Gadamer: There is a famous passage in Aristotelian metaphysics(1) which has caused much offence (...). Aristotle says there that dialectic is the ability, even detached from the what, to investigate the opposite and [to investigate] whether one and the same science can go to opposites. Gadamer: Here, a general characteristic of dialectic (which corresponds completely to what we find in Gadamer I 371 Plato's "Parmenides" seems to be connected with a very special problem that we know from topology(2) Whether the same science can be applied to the opposite seems to be a very specific question.(3) In truth, the connection between the two questions becomes immediately understandable if we retain the primacy of the question over the answer, which underlies the concept of knowledge. Knowledge/Gadamer: Knowledge always means to go to the opposite at the same time. This is its superiority over being taken in by the opinion that it understands possibilities as possibilities to think. Knowledge is dialectical by nature.
