Main article: Dialectical school
The dialectical school was known for their study of paradoxes, dialectic, and propositional logic.[9] The main philosophers associated with this school were Diodorus Cronus and Philo the Logician[10] Besides studying logical puzzles and paradoxes, the Dialecticians made two important logical innovations, by re-examining modal logic, and by starting an important debate on the nature of conditional statements.[11] Through their development of propositional logic, the Dialectical school played an important role in the development of logic, which was an important precursor of Stoic logic.
