Subject: Re: dialectics


     I "second" Jukka Laari's remarks with one further
addendum.  The "dia" most definitely refers to "two."
A "dialogue" is between exactly two parties (in Plato's
dialectical dialogues presenting opposing positions).
When one party is speaking it is a "monologue."
     If dialectics is not a "two-valued logic" then what
is it?  A many valued logic?  A fuzzy valued logic?  A
no value logic?  Not a logic?
