METHODS OF PHILOSOPHIZING:
DIALECTIC OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
define and explain the dialectic method of philosophizing, compare the dialectic and Socratic methods of philosophizing; distinguish an opinion from truth by analyzing the given situations DIALECTIC METHOD The term 'dialectic' comes from the Greek word dialektike which means 'the art of conversation.’
It is the act of talking back and forth, disagreeing with
one another, and arguing about contentious issues.
In philosophy, it is a method of coming up with a
conclusion from an exchange of contradicting logical arguments. - The aim of dialectics, as a process of the dialogue, is the clarification of controversial notions and arguments with other people. In this process, personal and shared conceptions should be considered and corrected. Examples: discussing the pros and cons of a variety of human resource strategies as forms of managing employees in the workplace, then choosing the best option evaluating two physical activities regarding their ability to increase work performance DIALECTIC OR SOCRATIC Both the Socratic method and the dialectic method are based on a dialogue between two or more people who may hold differing views but wish to pursue the truth by seeking agreement with one another. To avoid confusions between the two methods, study the chart of comparison in the next slide. OPINION AND TRUTH The dialectic method may involve both opinions and facts as long as they are logical and lead to the truth.
An opinion is a personal view formed about a particular
matter. Truth is something that has real and proven existence regardless of one’s opinion, such as the fact that the heart is a muscle. • Statement A is an opinion since there is no proof or evidence that the president is indeed the most intelligent person in the country. • Statement B is a truth because the president is the head of the state and the chief officer of the country. Thus, he is the most powerful leader of the country. THE DIALECTIC METHOD LEADS TO WISDOM AND TRUTH The dialectic method can easily be seen in the day-to- day interactions of people. It is much like a debate that poses two clashing but valid arguments to determine an endpoint that is correct and true. In this sense, the truth of both arguments is always expected to rise from each conversation. GROUP ACTIVITY The class will be divided into two groups.
