| | All quotes were made by Edward Hunter before the COMMITTEE ON UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES, U.S. House of Representatives, Eighty-fifth Congress, Second Session, March 13, 1958 | | | For the dialectic to work properly, those who are being processed must be persuaded that reform is needed and then invited to participate in the bringing about a new reformation. | | | Whether The Process is occurring on the governmental, educational or church level, the objective is to dismantle present structures and replace them with the new paradigm. |

| | This is precisely the unity of materialist dialectics with epistemology... | | | Dialectical materialism investigate the development of the world as a progressive movement from the inorganic to the organic, and from thence to the highest form of the movement of matter (society). | | | The history of science furnishes man with proof of the material nature of the world and of the fact that it is governed by laws and helps man to see the futility of the illusions of religion and idealism and to arrive at materialist conclusions. |

| | 1938: Dialectical and Historical Materialism |
| | Contrary to metaphysics, dialectics holds that nature is not a state of rest and immobility, stagnation and immutability, but a state of continuous movement and change, of continuous renewal and development, where something is always arising and developing, and something always disintegrating and dying away. | | | Here is the formulation – a formulation of genius – of the essence of historical materialism given by Marx in 1859 in his historic Preface to his famous book, A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy: | | | Hence, the clue to the study of the laws of history of society must not be sought in men's minds, in the views and ideas of society, but in the mode of production practiced by society in any given historical period; it must be sought in the economic life of society. |

| | Dialectical Materialism - from Hegel to Marx |
| | This, dialectical philosophy, by virtue of viewing everything in motion and change, dissolves all conceptions of final and absolute truths, as also of absolute states of humanity corresponding to it. | | | He found that source, not in the absolute spirit, but in the economic development to which we referred when discussing Hegel he was forced to have recourse to it when his idealism even in his powerful hands was a powerless and useless instrument. | | | He made use of all the powers of his genius, all the gigantic resources of his dialectics to give at least some scientific character to the idealist conception of history. |

| | Universities in other words exist in states and maintain properties which are distinctly different from the states and properties proper to the individuals who work at and as such make up the human dimension of these universities. | | | Dialectics explains the movement and development of an object in turn as a result of the movement and development of the intrinsic (or internal) relations which constitute the object and its contradictions. | | | Resolution of tensions resulting from this unity of opposites within the one person or personality will in fact be crucial in determining where he or she will go and what he or she will do in his or her life from this point onward. |

| | Materialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | "Materialism" has also frequently been understood to designate an entire scientific, "rationalistic" world view, particularly by religious thinkers opposed to it and also by Marxists. | | | Materialism is sometimes allied with the methodological principle of reductionism, according to which the objects or phenomena individuated at one level of description, if they are genuine, must be explicable in terms of the objects or phenomena at some other level of description -- typically, a more general level than the reduced one. | | | The view is perhaps best understood in its opposition to the doctrines of immaterial substance applied to the mind historically, and most famously by René Descartes. |

| | "Dialectics is nothing more than the science of the general laws of motion and development of nature, human society and thought." | | | After discussing the nature and role of philosophy, the quotations focus on materialism and the basic conflict with philosophical idealism, then on the nature of dialectics, the three laws of dialectics and some categories (less important laws), and finally the theory of knowledge, the nature of knowledge and how to gain knowledge. | | | The others who regarded nature as primary, belong to the various schools of materialism.." |

| | Ecology and Dialectical Materialism (by L. Proyect) |
| | "For Marx, the dialectic is situated more within science, within the human context--that is, than within nature itself--while for Engels, especially in his later works, the dialectic is situated in the very heart of matter, independent of man. Engels investigations into the dialectics of nature were encouraged by Marx. | | | Ricardo was typical of this view when he wrote, "The brewer, the distiller, the dyer, make incessant use of the air and water for the production of their commodities; but as the supply is boundless, they bear no price." Deléage's whole purpose is to quantify the unquantifiable: the environmental costs of capitalist production. | | | The opposed philosophical tradition of Plato, which posits a duality between mind and nature, is certainly at the root of Christian theology itself which Engels attacks. |
