VI.   Argument

An Active Dialectic Method is a dialectic method that is predicated on the resolution of disagreement through logical and reasoned argument based upon the presumption of a pre-existing need for a particular belief system, or system in general.

An Active Dialectic Method by definition introduces bias and corruption of possible results, by presumptions of belief as a measure of validity or falsity to a particular argument underpinning the system.

There are two forms of Active Dialectic Method being Scientific and Fanatic:

(i) Scientific Dialectic Method is a system using a base knowledge system founded on science, reason, logic and wisdom; and

(ii) Fanatic Dialectic Method is a system using a base knowledge system founded on superstition, false information, threat, fear and irrationality.

Of all dialectic methods, the worst Fanatic Dialectic Method is the Scholastic Dialectic Method and its extreme variations.
