Abstract
This article provides a concise logical, and as a consequence conceptual, critique of dialectical reasoning and its place in planning and policy in the work of Richard O. Mason and lan I. Mitroff. Based on this critique, a construct called Strategic Forum is presented as an advance of the use of dialectical reasoning in the social and policy sciences. The place of Strategic Forum within group decision support systems is discussed.
