Guthrie: Tratado 20 (I, 3) – Of Dialectic, or the Means of Raising the Soul to the Intelligible World.

Search for a demonstration of divinity such that the demonstration itself will deify.

Methods differ according to individuals; but there are chiefly two.

Return of the soul of the philosopher, musician and lover.

How the musician rises to the intelligible world.

How the lover rises to the intelligible.

How the philosopher rises to the intelligible world.

What dialectics is.

Dialectics is the highest part of philosophy.

The various branches of philosophy crowned by dialectics.

Without dialectics lower knowledge would be imperfect.
