The present essay makes the claim that political argumentation in the form of internal critique was already present in Pre-Socratic thought, specifically in Heraclitus’ dialectic conception of logos. This conception, which implies the human capacity of arguing for and identifying correct inferences, is valid in a contemporary context as well, and it underlies the idea of political life as an intersubjective condition of human existence.

Abstract
The present essay makes the claim that political argumentation in the form of internal critique was already present in Pre-Socratic thought, specifically in Heraclitus’ dialectic conception of logos. This conception, which implies the human capacity of arguing for and identifying correct inferences, is valid in a contemporary context as well, and it underlies the idea of political life as an intersubjective condition of human existence.
