One certainly needs to query oneself that allows you to take into account, says Plato, however the dialectic, which might be medical, needs to be anything else whether it is still a play of query and solution. This contradiction didn't get away Aristotle: he break up the clinical from the dialectic and good judgment from argumentation whose respective theories he was once resulted in conceive to be able to truly outline their limitations and specificities. As for Plato, he present in the recognized idea of rules what he sought which will justify wisdom as that that's imagined to carry its fact simply from itself. What do rules suggest in the framework of our procedure? In what is composed the passage from rhetoric to ontology which results in the denaturation of argumentation? while Socrates requested, for instance, "What is virtue?", he notion you'll no longer resolution any such query as the resolution refers to a unmarried proposition, a unmarried fact, while the formula of the query itself doesn't point out this unicity. For any resolution, one other should be given and hence continually, if important, till one will come upon an incompatibility. Now, to a question as to what X, Y, or Z is, you could solution in lots of methods and not anything within the query itself prohibits multiplicity. advantage is braveness, is justice, and so on.

What may thus be described on the technical level corresponds, on the plane of thought, to that which I will later call the expansion of an object: an expansion directly linked, in non-formal arguments, to the enrichment of conclusions. 4. The above text is only given by way of illustration and other operations are required in order to elaborate object-classes.
In order to bring out the general mechanism, I will freely use as my authority M. Meyer's extraordinarily fertile concept of problematology (Meyer 1979, 1983). I stress [retiens] the following idea. Every text and, particularly, every statement has two sides: 46 JEAN-BLAISE GRIZE a) b) it indicates a question toward which it points; it answers that question. " This stated, in order to understand the "evidence" character of conclusions, one must investigate the type of questions answered by statements having various levels.
Deduction, however, implies rules. And what produces the constraint of the rule and moreover its legitimacy is indeed, in compliance with the general principle stated above, the refraction within it of the originary event's force. If this is so, it is apparently because of the thematizing possibilities of the operativity peculiar to language which are implemented in the formalization process. If some proposition or other appears with a certain claim to truth, it can only be to the extent that the originary event of the apophansis of meaning is refracted within it, however weakly.
