abstract = "This article is about the methodological remarks in Nicomachean Ethics 7.1, 1145b2-7, and the way they are carried out in the following chapters. I argue that the procedure therein described does not aim to establish consistency among a subset of endoxa, but to test and refine-by considering and resolving objections against them-endoxa that could enter into a nominal definition of continence and incontinence. The dialectical lineage of this discussion, if there is one, is to be found in the use of the critical procedure of resolution that can be traced back to Topics and Sophistical Refutations.",

note = "Funding Information: Predecessors of this paper were presented in the Universidad de Valpara{\'i}so (Chile), and in the Universidade Federal de Uberl{\^a}ndia (Brazil); I am thankful to those patient audiences, especially to Lucas Angioni, Daniel Devereux, Joe Karbowski, Fernando Mendon{\c c}a, and Breno Zupollini, for their much-helpful comments, objections, and encouragement. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Carlo Rossi and Stephen Acreman for their comments on a penultimate version. Finally, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Alex Long for his many helpful suggestions, and to an anonymous reviewer for generous suggestions and constructive observations which pressed me to clarify some of my arguments and improved the text in more than one point. All remaining mistakes are my own. This article was written thanks to the financial support of ANID (Chile) through a Fondecyt Nº 1200446.
