  • Socratic method

  • Inductive reasoning

  • Abductive reasoning

Answer

Eriugena's dialectical method of De Divisione Naturae primarily elaborated on the concepts of exitus and reditus. Exitus refers to the process by which all things come from God, while reditus refers to the process by which all things return to God. Eriugena argued that these two processes are inseparable, and that the universe is constantly in a state of flux between them.
