>>652079The phrase "dialectical thinking is a pleonasm is a misunderstanding of Hegel. In Hegel’s philosophy, dialectical thinking is a method of understanding the development of ideas, but it's not just a way to "think correctly." It’s about how reality develops through contradictions, where opposing forces interact and evolve."Thinking correctly is identical with being dialectical,” this points to a superficial interpretation. Hegel wasn’t simply saying that "correct thinking" is the same as "dialectics." He was asserting that reality is inherently dialectical, and that correct thinking involves recognizing and engaging with the contradictions within reality.
Marx and Engels developed their ideas from Hegel, but they reversed his idealism into materialism. They took Hegel’s dialectical method and applied it to the material world, not just to ideas.This shift from idealism to materialism a process of negation (overcoming the limits of Hegel's thought), sublation (integrating and preserving useful elements of Hegelian dialectics), and transformation into a method that can be used to critically understand and change the material world.
