Ipse dixit, etiam fallacia adfirmationis nudae appellatum, est vocabulum quod adhibetur ad agnoscendum et describendum genus dictionis arbitrariae et dogmaticae quod is qui dicit exspectat auscultatorem firmum recipere.[1][2]Ipse dixit negat talem rem disputari posse: "prorsus, sic tantumst."[3]Fallacia in qua propositum ut fait accompli ("Sic tantumst"[4]) per adfirmationem nudam defenditur argumentum omnino per reiectionem distorquet: "Primus modus rei distortae est negare quod ea exsistit."[4]
Locutio ipse dixit in hodiernis diiudicationibus legitimis et administrativis adhibita est, plerumque ad reprehenda argumenta solum apud auctoritatem cuiusdam organizationis condita. Anno 1997, Iudicium Maximum Civitatum Foederatarum quaestionem agnovit "indicia opinabilia, quae cum datis exstantibus coniungitur solum per ipse dixit scientis."[11][12]

Locus: "In Cicero's De natura deorum, as well as in other sources, the phrase “Ipse dixit” pointed to the notion that Pythagoras's disciples would use that short phrase as justification for adopting a position: if the master had said it, it was enough for them and there was no need to argue further."

↑Anglice: "By the time of Bacon, students had fallen into the habit of accepting Aristotle as an infallible guide, and when a dispute arose the appeal was not to fact, but to Aristotle's theory, and the phrase, "Ipse dixit," ended all dispute."
↑Jeremy Bentham (1834), Deontology; or, The science of morality, vol. 1, p. 323; locus: "ipsedixitism . . . comes down to us from an antique and high authority,—it is the principle recognised (so Cicero informs us) by the disciples of Pythagoras. Ipse (he, the master, Pythagoras), ipse dixit,—he has said it; the master has said that it is so; therefore, say the disciples of the illustrious sage, therefore so it is."
