A set of opposed terms or pairs within a dialogue (from Greek dialectikós, related to discussing), which are considered as necessary arguments based on logical reasoning: thesis, antithesis and synthesis.
•Every bird has wings and they can fly (thesis)
•Not all birds have wings or can fly (antithesis)
•Most birds have wings and can fly (synthesis)
It’s a rather silly example but it shows those two opposite ideas about the same topic in a discussion (dialectic)
