Abstract
Since Plato, the word ‘dialectic’ has been used in so many different meanings that some have said that it is advisable to make no further use of it. If the confusion of concepts constituted a strong argument invalidating their usage, then each philosopher would be forced to renew almost the whole philosophical vocabulary. Nevertheless the handling of these different meanings requires particular precaution, awareness of the previous uses and some idea of their historical evolution. If the Begriffsgeschichte is valuable for all philosophical notions then it is certainly so when we want to deal with the term ‘dialectic’.
Hegel-Jahrbuch 1970, ed. Wilhelm R. Beyer, pp. 11–21.
