摘要
The article examines a close link between Socratic dialectic and the sophistic discourse practice known as 'antilogic'. First, traditional assumptions are rejected, in particular the prejudice that antilogic is a kind of eristic that is indifferent to truth, solely aiming at blindsiding the opponent. In order to develop an alternative perspective, antilogic is contextualized within the discursive climate of its time. In this way, antilogic can be interpreted as an educational practice attempting to determine the 'right logos' by generating contradictions. In conclusion, continuities between antilogic and dialectic become visible that shed light on their differences too.
