Hi Casey,
I'm not sure I know what you mean by
a scholastic method, as there were at least the two major methods:
The
Quaestio method, used by Thomas, for example, which is more inductive:
Question/issue
Objections
Sed Contra (on the contrary)
Respondeo dicendum (I respond by saying...)
The
Disputatio method, which is more deductive:
Exposition
Proof
Objections
Refutation
