"Aristotle distinguishes between dialectical reasoning, which proceeds syllogistically from opinions generally accepted, and demonstrative reasoning, which begins with primary and true premises; but he holds that dialectical reasoning, in contrast with eristic, is "a process of criticism wherein lies the path to the principles of all inquiries."
"Eristic" means "specious in reasoning for the purpose of winning in argument."
The dialectic of American culture is cynical, distrustful, accusatory, and rarely does one position argue about the same essence of the position as does the other, as if side A was arguing about 1+1 and what it means "existentially;" and side B was arguing about 1+9-8 is a better way of getting to the means of eating an apple.
