It is therefore impossible to reach the truth except by going through all the steps of the dialectic.

Each later stage of the dialectic contains all the earlier stages. This process is essential to the understanding of the result. From this thesis and antithesis we pass on to the synthesis the union of Being and Not-Being is becoming, and so we say: ‘The Absolute is Becoming’ 3. Pure Being without any qualities is nothing therefore we are led to the antithesis: ‘The Absolute is Nothing’. G.W.F Hegel (1770-1831) begins the argument of his logic by the assumption that ‘the Absolute is Pure Being’ we assume that it just is, without assigning any qualities to it. This paper seeks to explain Karl Marx’s dialectical materialism and historical dialectics.īefore delving into dialectical materialism and historical dialectics as espoused by Karl Marx, it is important to explain something about the Hegelian dialectic method. 2 Marx called himself a materialist, though under Hegelian influence. This is best represented in the Communist Manifesto of 1848. Unlike British classical economics who aimed at the welfare of the capitalists, Marx worked to represent the interest of the wage earner. The stimulus to his work was the hope of a social revolution in his lifetime or in future. After taking part in the French and German revolutions of 1848, he sought refuge in England in 1849 from where he wrote and amassed knowledge. From him, he came to know of English labor conditions and English economics. There, he met Engels, the manager of a factory in Manchester. In 1843, he went to France to study socialism. He also tried journalism but the Rhenische Zeitung 1, a radical publication was suppressed by the authorities. At the University he was influenced by Hegelianism. Marx’s ancestors had been rabbis though his parents became Christians when he was a child. Treves had been influenced by the French during the revolutionary and Napoleonic era hence, it was much cosmopolitan than most parts of Germany. Karl Marx was born in 1818, at Treves in Germany.
