Primes¶
- Dialectic
- the Socratic acceptance that dialectical inquiry may end in acknowledged aporia (inability to define the term or settle the question), but this recognized limit is epistemically valuable, distinguishing productive confusion from mere failure; and (4) the truth-tracking-vs-rhetorical-victory tension
