The link between dialectics and first philosophyin Aristotle’s Metaphysics is narrow, as it is showed bythe important presence of dialectical procedures in this work, among which we find the historical review, the peirasticdemonstration and the diaporetic method. The method ofthe first philosophy, nevertheless, cannot be identified by thedialectics: if we centre on the diaporetic procedure, there canbe verified that the euporetic phase constitutes a not dialecticalphase of the process, a phase that goes far beyond of theestablished for the properly dialectical procedure of the diaporeticdevelopment. It remains clear in the analysis of thediaporetic development and of the solutions tested by Aristotleabout the eleventh and the fifteenth apories of bookBeta.Downloads
