Ron,

okay, so now you want me to make you secure further premises for your argument that dialectic is a form of rhetoric. According to the Socratic method I should now proceed to secure your agreement to further premises. The premise I propose you to agree to is:

"It is irrelevant whether dialectic is a form of rhetoric, because when I accuse an argument of being rhetorical I mean some other form of rhetoric than dialectic."

I don't have a peer group because Bo didn't give me Pirsig's e-mail address! :D (I don't know what else to do than to joke about this. I don't like not having a peer group. Some people teach me things and skills but your teacher isn't your peer. And although I'd like to teach people seem to find me preach.)

Your further thesis is that all explanation is an argument from the particular to the universal. Do you mean that you find all explanations to be inductive? And do you find the previous question to approach your argument deductively, ie. from the universal to the particular?

Regards,

Tuk

Ron,

I get it, you're using the Socratic method when you claim rhetoric is 
dialectic. But I'm also using the Socratic method when I convince you rhetoric 
and dialectic are different things. So what about the Socratic method?

Tuukka,
I'm using Socratic method to maintain dialectic is a type of rhetoric. Which it 
is.
Ask your peer group.
  All explanation is an argument from the particular to the universal.
