Disputations


From Discourse on Method at adelaide.edu.
I have never observed that any truth before unknown has been brought to light by the disputations that are practised in the schools; for while each strives for the victory, each is much more occupied in making the best of mere verisimilitude, than in weighing the reasons on both sides of the question
Verisimilitude: The appearance of being true or real.
