Dialectical Materialism vs. "The New Physics"

by Mike Gimbel

“Cognizing thought begins with differentiation, with the instantaneous photograph, with the establishment of terms-conceptions, in which the separate moments of a process are placed but from which the process as a whole escapes. These terms-conceptions, created by cognizing thought, are then transformed into fetters. Dialectics removes these fetters, revealing the relativity of motionless concepts, their transition into each other.”[16] “Consciousness splits nature into fixed categories and in this way enters into contradiction with reality. Dialectics overcomes this contradiction – gradually and piecemeal – bringing consciousness nearer to the world’s reality.”
