Phenomenological Motifs in Aristotle's Dialectic

The article attempts to show that there is a protophenomenological content in Aristotle's dialectic. It is proved that the endoxic method, used by Aristotle in many works, is not only work with the opinions of philosophers of the past and some generally accepted provisions, but also the study of phenomenal being: an ordinary, pre-philosophical manifestation of things. Limitations are noted for seeing parallels between Aristotle's endoxic method and Husserl's phenomenological method. In the final part of the article, a proposal is made to introduce some elements of the endoxic method into modern phenomenological psychology and psychotherapy. In particular, the formulation of a dialectical problem through the identification of contradictions and the removal of them can be applied by practicing specialists in psychology: in order to build a coherent consciousness the conflict between equivalent, but contradictory emotions and ideas of the patient, should be eliminated.
