Laozi is a famous philosopher in ancient Chinese, around 571BC/around 471BC. Aristotle, the famous philosopher of ancient Greek, the founder of Three logic laws, 384BC/322BC. Both of them had some properties of dialectical logic, then which of them is the real founder of dialectical logic?
Socrates, 469BC/399BC, a great philosopher in ancient Greek, his work focused upon ethical theory, and he was famous elquence, his convincing argument was called as Socratic irony. He was teacher of Plato, and Plato was teacher of Aristotle.
to attribute it to either is surely a meaningless concept unless sufficient contact can be attributed to their respective cultures to suggest that one was influenced by the other. Aristotle, let alone Socrates, is a little too early for a convincing case to be made for this. Therefore I would suggest that if you think both could be the founder to credit both as independently inventing the concept within their own cultures. Archaeologists do this all the time where direct links cannot be established.
