VI.   Argument

A Passive Dialectic Method is a dialectic method that is predicated on the resolution of disagreement through logical and reasoned argument without the presumption of a pre-existing need for a particular belief system, or system in general.

A Passive Dialectic Method by definition minimizes any bias or corruption of possible results, by avoiding presumptions of belief as a measure of validity or falsity to a particular argument.

Of all dialectic methods, only one method may be regarded as Passive being the Elenchus Dialectic Method, also known as the “Socratic Method”.
