SİMPLİFİED DEFİNİTİON OF DİALECTİCAL MATERİALİSM

In simplified form, Dialectical Materialism states that ideas and thoughts of human changes in a dialectical process due to the movement and existance of the matter.

Dialectical Materialism is not only a philosophy but also a complete way of thinking to explain the reality.

DİALECTİCS

Dialectics is the science of the general and abstract laws of the development of nature, society and thought.

In Dialectical Materialism, the laws of dialectics developed with a materialist point of view.

MATERİALİSM Materialism is a realist philosophy of

science, which holds that the world is material; all phenomena in the universe consist of “matter in motion” according to natural laws.

Materialism asserts the primacy of the material world: matter precedes thought. Thought is a reflection of material world.

“The ideal is nothing else than the material world reflected by the human mind, and translated into forms of thought.” [1]

ENGELS’ LAW OF DİALECTİCS The Law of Unity and Conflict of

Opposes

All things in reality composed of the opposite sides and also they always have a confliction due to the opposes.

Page 8: Dialectical Materialism

THE LAW OF UNİTY AND CONFLİCT OF OPPOSES Example 1 : Infinity and Finitary

Finite Line of 1m

Infinitely many mid-points to pass in order to reach 1m

Page 9: Dialectical Materialism

ENGELS’ LAW OF DİALECTİCS The Law of Passage of the Quantitative

Changes into Qualitative Changes

This law proposes that for the description of something if quality of a thing is increasing its quantity must decrease and vice versa.

Page 10: Dialectical Materialism

THE LAW OF THE PASSAGE OF QUANTİTATİVE CHANGES İNTO QUALİTATİVE CHANGES

Example 1: Football Team and Players

Example 2 : Fruits

11 Football Players

1 Team

1 Apple, 1 Peach and 1 Orange

3 Fruits

ENGELS’ LAW OF DİALECTİCS The Law of Negation of the Negation

This law is the fundemental of dialectic change.

Things in reality develop in a way that they negated twice. (i.e. They lose their existance twice to get a developed form of the one at the beginning)

Apricot

Planting Apricot Tree
