2. Reason / C. Styles of Reason / 1. Dialectic

5847	It is the role of dialectic to survey syllogisms [Aristotle]
	Full Idea: It belongs to dialectic to survey equally all kinds of syllogism.
	From: Aristotle (The Art of Rhetoric [c.350 BCE], 1355a08)
	A reaction: Since dialectic is central to philosophy, this implies that philosophers ought to be students of logic. This duty seems to me to be taken more seriously in the analytical tradition than in the 'continental' tradition.
