CUM NE ÎNVAŢĂ SCHOPENHAUER SĂ AVEM ÎNTOTDEAUNA DREPTATE?
How does Schopenhauer teach to always be right?

Summary/Abstract: The starting point for the present analysis is the well-known work of Arthur Schopenhauer: The Art of Being Right. A reference to the sophists’ dialectic and to the Aristotelian topic points out the strands of continuity, but also the clear distinctions between the explicative construction of the German philosopher and the two important moment of Greek dialectic. The text confronts the “stratagems” put forward by Schopenhauer in order to draw the outline of an “eristic dialectic”, with their current interpretations as argumentation sophisms. Thus, Schopenhauer’s outline regarding the art of always being right reveals, at the same time, the virtues for which it should be valued, but also the limits which make it vulnerable so many times.
