When one of the company said to him, Convince me that logic is necessary, - Would you have me demonstrate it to you? he said. Yes. Then I must use a demonstrative form of argument. Granted. And how will you know, then, whether my arguments mislead you? On this, the man being silent, Epictetus said, You see that even by your own confession, logic is necessary; since without it, you cannot even learn whether it is necessary or not. -Epictetus: Discourses and Enchiridion, Based on the Translation of Thomas Wentworth Higginson
