ANTHYPOPHORA
ANTHYPOPHORA
ANTHYPOPHORA is part of a refutation by anticipation, when those things are refuted which may seem possible to be said in opposition to our opinion [the refutation of an adversarys supposed objection]. See Gnom. on Heb 2:8. See below examples under the title OCCUPATIO.
This ANTHYPOPHORA, which answers to a foreseen objection, differs from the other of the same name, which refutes an objection, brought forward by an adversary, by means of the opposition of a contrary sentiment expressed [Glassius Philol. S. L. V. Tract. ii. ch. vii. p. 2048].
