Dialectica

Dialectica is a philosophical method developed by mathematician Kurt Gödel, inspired by ancient dialogues. It involves a structured form of dialogue or reasoning where two opposing perspectives—theses and antitheses—are critically examined. Through this process, contradictions are identified and resolved, aiming to clarify truth and knowledge. Gödel extended this idea into formal logic, using it to explore the foundations of mathematics and ensure consistency within mathematical systems. In essence, Dialectica is a method of rigorous questioning and dialogue designed to deepen understanding and uncover the most accurate representations of complex ideas.
