Dialética

Philosophy is the synthesis of collaboration and opposition, par excellence.



How philosophy works: it's collaborative.
The progress is made through opposition.
This means that, when philosophers get together, they try to investigate a problem. They try to find out what is true, what is right, what makes sense.
But in order to do so, they have to oppose each other, they have to challenge each other, question each other's assumptions.
The word that captures all these "checking" principles is RE-EVALUATION.
Philosophy demands that one re-evaluate.
