“Every condition develops its negation, and the interaction of the two begets a new situation the new or resulting condition soon has its negation and the struggle continues. He taught that everything developed by conflict or by a “clash of opposites”.Īccording to Hegel, evolution proceeds according to a system of three stages. In this respect the following lines reflect the position very correctly: “If Hegel was the dialectical Allah and Marx and Engels in a sense its prophets they do not hesitate to scold him for omission and even serious misconstruction of truth.” Hegel placed considerable emphasis on the “ dialectic principle”.
Both were believers in dialectics Hegel was an idealist, while Marx was a materialist. The basic difference between Marx and Hegel so far as dialectic is concerned is of the idea and the matter. With me, on the other hand, idea is nothing than the material world reflected by the human mind.”Įngels has brought out this difference somewhat clearly in the following words: “Hegel’s Dialectic is opposite down because its steps put the self-development on that of which the dialectic of facts is therefore only a reflection, whereas really the dialectic in our heads is only the reflection of the actual development which is philosophy in the world of nature and of human history.” For Hegel… the power of thinking which, under the name of idea, he even transforms into an independent subject is the de miargos (creator) of the real world, and the real world is only outward manifestation of the ‘idea’. While writing about his difference with Hegel, Marx has himself remarked: “My own Dialectical method is not different from Hegelian, but it is direct opposite. It is never a dogma, nor the Marxian metaphysics, but empirically discovered law of all change. It explains in detail the most general laws of the development of all history whatsoever. He has in this respect himself said: “In Hegel’s hands dialectics underwent a mystification… In Hegel’s writings dialectics stands on its head you must turn it right way up again, if you want to discover the rational colour with the mystical smell.”ĭialectical materialism reflects most clearly the Marxian philosophy of change. Although, Marx has agreed with Hegel’s dialectics, he has never agreed with Hegel’s idealism. The difference between the two is that while Hegel was basically an idealist, Marx was basically a materialist. Marx’s philosophy of “Dialectic Materialism has grown from Hegelian philosophy. Contradiction are inherent in all realms of nature but Particularly human society”.the developmental process is a product of quantitative advances which culminates in abrupt qualitative changes.Nature is in a continuous state of movement and change.
All the phenomena of nature are part of an integrated whole.With me, on the contrary, the idea is nothing else than the material world reflected by the husman mind and translated into forms of thought.” The basic postulates of the dialectical method of Marx, as outlined by Larson are as follows: To Hegel, the life-process of the human brain, i.e., the process of thinking, which, under the name of ‘the idea’, he even transforms into an independent subject, is the demy-urge of the real world, and the real world is only the external, phenomenal form of ‘the idea’. Distinguishing it from the dialectical method of Hegel, Marx said, “My dialectic method is not only different from the Hegelian, but is its direct opposite. Like that of Hegel Marxist methodology is also known as dialectical.
