| There are two kind of
        disagreement: 
            In my speech a given sentence A
                is stated to be true, while in your speech the
                same sentence A is stated to be false.In my speech a given sentence A
                is stated to have a truth value, while in your
                speech A is senseless: it can be
                neither true nor false. The disagreement between science and
        dialectic is of the kind (B) or of the kind (A) ? When committed to show that no conflict
        there is, Marxists mostly presuppose the conflict to be
        of the kind (A): dialectic doesn't turn false what
        science says it is true; it just takes science as a part
        of a larger system; a system which is able to grasp the
        teleological movement of history - and that, at least,
        locates science at the level of an instrumental thought
        or of a store of partial representations in wanting of a
        more comprehensive view. | 
    
        | But what is dialectic ? Here you are some meanings I know: 
            A flexible thought, able to pursue the changeable
                movements of a living experienceHistorical reason against normative reason. An investigation concerning the posits of a
                thought The ascending proceeding, having a direction and
                an internal finality, of reality as a whole The philosophical discourse, whose task is to
                grasp this ascending proceeding of reality
                (fulfilling the task, the philosophical discourse
                turns a subjective assumption - the subjective
                assumption that such an ascending proceeding
                there is - into an objective truth)The subjective/objective character of reality:
                what seems a chrema (a solid thing) is a pragma
                (the result of actions, will, projects, thought
                etc. )  A. Toson |
