Abstract

Dialectical logic is the science of the most general laws of the development of nature, society and human thought. These laws are reflected in the form of special concepts — logical categories. Therefore, dialectical logic can also be defined as the science about the dialectical categories. As a system of dialectical categories, it investigates their reciprocal connections, sequence and the transitions of one category into the other.
