I understand that applying the process of dialectics to a logical process is problematic. Dialectics can be understood as “this depends on and affects that, while that depends on and affects this”. Formal logic can be understood as “this is this. That is that. If you make this that, it no longer is that. If you make that this, it no longer is this”. Formal logic can be seen in computers with bits, either being on or off. It is hard for me to imagine bits in a dialectical manner.
That is the critique I imagine would come from you. Am I correct in that? However, your critique goes beyond programming. Could you elaborate on how it is that dialectical materialism can’t be applied to anything?
