Note 36 — Chapter VII · ANALYTICA POSTERIORA I.
Reading edition
Aristot. Analyt. Post. I. xii, p. 77, a. 36-40; Themistius, p. 40.
The text is here very obscure. He proceeds to distinguish Geometry especially (also other sciences, though less emphatically) from τὰ ἐν τοῖς διαλόγοις (I. xii. p. 78, a. 12).
Julius Pacius, ad Analyt. Post. I. viii. (he divides the chapters differently), p. 417, says:— “Differentia interrogationis dialecticæ et demonstrativæ hæc est. Dialecticus ita interrogat, ut optionem det adversario, utrum malit affirmare an negare. Demonstrator vero interrogat ut rem evidentiorem faciat; id est, ut doceat ex principiis auditori notis.”
