47:00 "Plato's Dialectic".... (u are very familiar, in practice) A nice explanation quote below, u may find highly reliant towards a pure philosophical approach behind the yi. If Confucius did in fact consult, it would make sense this would be his approach. If it happened. "How" divination worked, Confucius clearly may have not been concerned. The aspect that the yi is comprised of the fundamental architecture of Chinese worldly cosmology 'heaven, earth, man' and the principles of 'worldly changes'. That would make sense Confucius would find interest in this. If he did. Very helpful work you've shared Harman. Reviewed by Nicholas Denyer, Trinity College, University of Cambridge on.... "The Development of Dialectic from Plato to Aristotle"................................................ 'Dialectic' and 'dialogue' come from the Greek word for conversation. The dialogue was a literary genre invented by the followers of Socrates to give written representation of dialectic, his conversational style of philosophical reasoning. This style of reasoning requires two people: the questioner and the respondent. The questioner gets the respondent to assert something; the questioner then tests this assertion by putting to the respondent a series of questions. The questioner's hope is that, in answering these questions, the respondent will be led to deny the initial assertion. If so, then the respondent is refuted; if not, then the initial assertion can stand -- at least for the moment. One obvious beauty of dialectic is that the questioner need not claim any expertise on the subject of the conversation. This made the role of questioner ideal for Socrates, who liked to say that his wisdom consisted simply in knowing that he did not know anything much.
