Marxism and the Dialectical Method: A Critique of G. A. Cohen
The dialectical method, Marx insisted, was at the basis of his account of society. In 1858, in a letter to Engels, he wrote:
In this article, through the critique of Cohen's work, Sayers describes in a very clear fashion the differences between mechanical materialism and dialectical materialism, and the differences between analytical and dialectical thinking in general. I think it's a great resource for people wanting to learn or better understand dialectics and dialectical materialism.
This was a good read. My understanding of diamat is that nothing exists in a vacuum, things are connected, sometimes even things that are contradictory.
It's helped me understand a lot of the world in better context, and if more people understood this, geopolitics wouldn't be so difficult to discuss.
