    Getting the basics is pretty easy.  Understanding the details and the connections to formal logic is harder.  Confusion results.  Some people even think dialectics is in conflict with formal logic.  That is not true.  Formal logic in dielectrics is a subset where system change becomes differential change in a way like algebra becomes part of calculus.

    I know the study of dialectics is worth doing, it affects the way a person thinks and in a way that better adjusts me to reality.  Read a little of the theory and you feel a bit restless in a good way.

    The concept of the 'negation of the negation' is slippery like the Stoic claim that "the obstacle becomes the way".  That concept was hard for me to get at first.  Now it is automatic for me to consider how adversity can be used to advantage.  To do other is foolish.
