§ 16
A dilemma is a two-horned, or horned, argumentation in which two sides are posited so effectively that the respondent is necessarily caught, as if someone should propose two reasons, one of which must necessarily be conceded or denied: but from the concession or denial he is necessarily caught, as if someone should say that he is not lying, and another should argue thus: Either you went where I commanded, or you did not go: if you went; therefore you lie, when you say that you did not see John, who was there: if you did not go; therefore you lie, when you say that you went. Behold, from the concession and denial of either side, the respondent is convicted of lying. This argumentation can be formed into a syllogism and an enthymeme.
