Justifying Logic of Plato for Stranger?s Method in Politicus

One of the salient dominant features of Politicus is the necessity and application of the method on the part of the dialogue leader in order to reach a definition of the intended term. With regard to this point here the proposed logic of the stranger through the pen of the dialogue - writer will be explored and introduced. We begin with what can be Plato?s conception of method in its both classical platonic versions. It will be shown that we can speak of logic and its application in this dialogue. Here the intended logic is composed of these five parts: Whole - Division - Differentiation - Combination - Analogy. Accordingly, the subject-matter of Politicus is considered a whole that as any other composition is dividable into its related parts. Some parts can be differentiated and others can be combined with each other in meaningful and acceptable ways. Then in this relation we can refer to suitable analogies in order to enhance and vindicate the proposed differentiations and combinations.
