MARCOS, Graciela E.. Filosofía vs. erística según Platón y Aristóteles: cerca de la distinción entre estar problematizado y hablar por el gusto de hablar. Argos [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.1, pp.9-31. ISSN 1853-6379.

In this paper I attempt to shed light on the distinction between philosophy and eristic in Plato and Aristotle by turning my attention to the notion of aporia. In section I on the basis of an examination of the occurrences of eristikos in Meno, I try to show that Socrates appears closely connected with the eristic, who is usually portrayed as his most dangerous opponent. In section II, I analyse Aristotle’s taxonomy of the opponents of the principle of non-contradiction in Metaphysics IV in order to clarify the distinction between philosophers who are in genuine perplexity and eristics who look for verbal victory. At this point, I argue, Aristotle follows closely Plato’s teachings in Meno.

Palabras clave : Eristic; Philosophy; Aporia; Meno’s paradox; Principle of non-contradiction.
