Abstract
Karl Marx’s dialectical materialism is considered to be an
important contribution to the continental philosophical tradition. It claims
that the objective truth refers to the knowledge of an object, which perfectly
reflects the object. For dialectical materialism truth is objective but only in
the ontological and epistemological sense. This article demonstrates that for
Marx, everything bears the stamp of inevitable negation, disappearance, and
nothing can withstand this except the continuous process of emerging and
dying away itself, and the endless advance from lower to the higher. This
constant process of renewal, vanishing the old phenomena and emergence of
a new one, is what negation means; the replacing of the old by the new
means that the old is continually being negated. The new phenomena that
appear in nature and society also go their natural way; they grow old with
time and are replaced by new phenomena and forces. Overall, this article
aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of Marx dialectical materialism.
