A Study on the Significance of Dialectic and Rhetoric - From a philosophical and historical point of view

这项研究考察了起源于亚里士多德学派的辩证或修辞方法如何在怀特海德的著作中描述的哲学史中发挥重要作用。通过这种考察，白海德的术语被有意识或不自觉地用来以一种辩证的方法或修辞的方式来解释或批评他之前的哲学家的关键概念，这就是这些术语的现代意义所在。

This study examined how dialectical or rhetorical method which has its origin in Aristotelianism can play a vital part in a history of philosophy which are described in Whiteheadean writings. By means of this examination, it is elucidated that Whiteheadean terms are, consciously or unconsciously, used to explain or to critise his preceding philosphers' key concepts in a kind of dialectical method or a rhetorical manner and here lies a modern significance of these.
