Full Idea
Dialectic itself is necessary, and is a virtue which contains other virtues.
Gist of Idea
Dialectic is a virtue which contains other virtues
Source
report of Stoic school (fragments/reports [c.200 BCE]) by Diogenes Laertius - Lives of Eminent Philosophers 07.46
Book Ref
'The Stoics Reader', ed/tr. Inwood,B/Gerson,L.P. [Hackett 2008], p.12
A Reaction
Presumable the virtues which are 'contained' are the whole panoply of other intellectual virtues. These will be virtues of intellectual character (Zagzebski), not virtues of processes (Sosa).
