And boy howdy does my head hurt.
I’m almost through the preface, and i have NO clue what he’s talking about.
So far, the only thing I’ve gotten is something about how a result is determined by the path that lead to it, and that a negation is not a destruction of something but just a further step forward.
But I have no fucking clue about his other concepts like Notion, Subjective/Objective, what he means by Science or how to piece it all together.
It really feels like walking in, mid conversation, in a foreign language.
Is the rest of the book easier to read, or should I just call it quits here?
I just wanted to better understand dialectics lmao


Learn dialectics from an easier teacher. Check out how it’s laid out in Constructive Criticism under the Dialectical Materialism section, which separately breaks down Dialectics and Materialism.
Edit: I thought I was on a .world community, you may be past this lol.
