    Who was the inventor of the method of dialectic in Greece?

    Question #41700. Asked by simplesummer.

    McGruff

    Zeno of Elea wrote his famous paradoxes in the fifth century BCE. He was recognized later by Aristotle for using dialectic reasoning in his arguments. Specifically, his paradox involving Achilles and the tortoise demonstrates a law of formal logic known as modus tollens. However, Zeno only set the stage for later philosophers, primarily Aristotle, and did not define or set new laws in argumentation.
