dialectical materialism
Definition
- Dialectical materialism has been defined both as a natural philosophy—a philosophical generalization of the most fundamental truths disclosed by the natural sciences and by the Marxist social science of historical materialism—and as a method of inquiry committed to a realist approach in epistemology and to materialist-monism in ontology. At the most general level it represents an attempt to synthesize elements of two preexisting philosophical traditions: (1) the philosophical materialism of the European Enlightenment and (2) the dialectical logic of the German idealist philosopher G. W. F. Hegel. [Source: Encyclopedia of Case Study Research; Dialectical Materialism]
