Abstract

This paper aims at expounding the dialectical character of Eleatism’s refutation in Physics I 2-3. First, it will be argued that the Aristotelian dialectic can constitute a method of scientific investigation. Secondly, it will be shown that the refutation of Eleatism in Physics I 2-3 can be justified onlywithin the framework of a dialectical argumentation, since this refutation constitutes a method of clarification of physical principles.
