There were quite a few, however, who were quick to troll, saying that it was probably the name of his next child, as his last child was named "X ? A-12».
What does "dialectic"
The word "dialectic" comes from the Greek word διαλέγομαι, which means to hold a discussion. In antiquity, dialectic meant the art of arriving at truth through the conflict of opposing views, as in almost all of Plato's works. The term prevailed internationally as Dialectic. In England formerly this term was synonymous with Logic as applied to the formal reasoning of the orators of the day.
This term from antiquity has referred specifically to logical argumentation i.e. the original art of "dialectic" by asking questions and then responding. It is said that the first to create and practice this art was Zeno the Eleatic, and which was subsequently developed by Plato. In later times it was Kant who applied dialectic, particularly in the study of the contradictions that arise when principles of empirical knowledge are used but beyond the limits of experience. But Hegel also applied the Dialectic to the process by which any contradictions are abolished (catalysed) by some higher level of truth.
This latter Egelian process (as generally established and accepted) is the one that ultimately guides individual thought as well as world history, always according to the scheme (sequence). It was on the basis of this that Marx investigated and extended dialectical materialism. And this process is followed today by all Sciences in the advancement of knowledge, especially in conference presentations. The basis of Western medieval civilization was the seven liberal arts, divided into the introductory Trivium and the Quadrivium. The Trivium includes grammar, dialectics and rhetoric. The Quadrivium includes arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music.
