Ancient dialectic started as an art of refutation and evolved into
a science akin to our logic, grammar and linguistics. Scholars of
ancient philosophy have traditionally focused on Plato's and
Aristotle's dialectic without paying much attention to the diverse
conceptions and uses of dialectic presented by philosophers after
the classical period. To bridge this gap, this volume aims at a
comprehensive understanding of the competing Hellenistic and
Imperial definitions of dialectic and their connections with those
of the classical period. It starts from the Megaric school of the
fourth century BCE and the early Peripatetics, via Epicurus, the
Stoics, the Academic sceptics and Cicero, to Sextus Empiricus and
Galen in the second century CE. The philosophical foundations and
various uses of dialectic are closely analysed and systematically
examined together with the numerous objections that were raised
against them.
