Resumen de Materialist Dialectics and Biophysical Worlds
Despite many applied examples, few have attempted to develop a materialist dialectics in the biophysical sciences. Insights from recent Marxist and anarchist work indicate that it is possible to elaborate on Engels’ notion of a “science of interconnections” to address the issue of human specificity implied in dialectics (via praxis) and to formulate a methodological program more appropriate to studying the rest of nature. This involves (1) emphasizing interconnectivity and transformations in the study of biophysical processes; and (2) developing politically explicit and self-critical practices (ideological struggle).
