Details
'The notion of a dialectical progression is fundamental to the thought of Hegel (and later to Marx). It is some kind of zig-zag progression through concepts or situations, but its exact nature is somewhat opaque. I will suggest a way of clarifying it, and look at some applications. The account makes use of some techniques from paraconsistent logic, but I will describe these in general terms, and avoid any technicalities.'
