RESETTING THE DIALECTICS
I think everyone knows about "dialectics". Why? Because in the era of universal higher education (I read somewhere that today 97% of high school graduates continue to study at universities) - ALL children are told about "philosophy": it is a "mandatory subject" of the higher education program.
Only times have changed! Changed interests and needs. Let us ask ourselves – what were those times when many people needed “universal” “same” “universal” knowledge? Am I seriously mistaken in assuming that such knowledge was needed in the industrial world, the world of Europe. Where “capitalism”, “industrial production” arose and developed, where, next, national states arose - as such formats for bringing people together, when collective common national goals were possible and arose: innovations arose in temporal marketing and temporal navigation. Temporal navigation? Temporal marketing? This is when small "communities" of people who settled on a certain (with an accessible perimeter, border) territory - suddenly began to cross such borders and unite into nation-states - with the same legislation, practices and protection from "strangers". So - from a completely practical plane, it's time to answer the question - what is "common" between "us"? And who are the “strangers”, who are the “enemies”? I am now acting as a "materialist" - trying to find some vital, living basis for various "theoretical" considerations. It is clear that a "philosopher" is such a special "person at court" who can try to answer questions. Commoners do not need to understand anything at all. The less they understand, the easier it is for them to tell that the time has come to “give up their lives” “for the Motherland” and, of course, to endure their poverty - since ALL the resources of the “country” are directed to the cause of the Great Victory. Enemies, common enemies and common goals, agreements, negotiations and victories - these are just a small range of issues that interested many rulers in Europe.
It is clear that responses have slowly emerged. There was some competition in philosophy. The philosopher who gave the most original answer to THESE questions provided the Sovereign with the tools to defeat those who risked remaining “abroad” of power with “standard thinking”. If someone wants to, he can see what kind of TOPICS at that time in Europe occupied those who ruled and those who “delivered to the court” “philosophy”. Menu "philosophy" - probably can be seen in the Hegelian philosophy. Each book is, after all, a response to the “request” of the court and the “public”! He has no "questions of ecology" or "theories of peaceful coexistence", "convergence" or "questions of democracy". Industrial production, capitalism - gave rise to "categories" and "universal laws of development": dialectics.
What is "dialectics" in a simple, school, lapidary abstract?
These are a few statements, replicas, theories about - HOW does the WHOLE WORLD work as a whole? These are remarks about the SCIENCE of LOGIC, about Phenomenology, about the State, Law, Ethics, Aesthetics, Religion, History. And everywhere - the very "maxims" of dialectics are squeezed in.
1. Who are the "enemies"? Where are they? The answer is simple: “enemies” are the PARTIES of the contradiction, these are “opposites”. These are those who do not agree with you and are ready to kill you, poison you, put you in jail for your beliefs, thoughts, principles, conversations, position and opposition, words, theories and slogans, calls, goals, ideals and values ...
2. PEACE - never possible. The struggle of opposites is forever. Black fights White. Devils are with Angels. Day - with Night. Women are with Men. Truth - with a lie ... And? Etc. There is no way to evade the fight…))) Struggle: it is a duty. This is the right to heroism and death. This is a matter of honor. Although, however, sometimes - you can "pretend", to deceive the enemy. To enter into a temporary agreement, some kind of agreement - at the same time understanding that the “agreement” is a “paper for a while”.
3. If you fight correctly, endure hardships and difficulties, then, in the end, “victory will be ours!”, And the number of battles will turn into the quality of prey! The winner's resources will increase.
In other words, the European concept of dialectics is the justification and general theory of wars, victories and patience. These are replicas - as it seemed to them - for ALL times. THREE "laws of dialectics" - this is all that the Sovereign needs to know - in order to lead the people and win. One small question remained aside - about the organization of private life. What is a “little man” to do who is not going to defeat his neighbor, who does not defeat his wife, who has a short life ahead of him and wants to have time to become happy and loved? How to navigate in everyday life? In a life where there are shops, a house, a dacha, a car, Egypt, a salary, a boring TV and difficulties ... As soon as the principle ended - “we all die as one in the struggle ... for THIS” - then the dialectic immediately became doubtful.
Times change. FOUNDATIONS, the processes that people face within their lives, are changing. And questions arise - what to do? In a NEW situation? "Industrial production"? It's over. The "factories and plants" were closed. Land for peasants? Not needed, and overgrown with weeds. Mortgage and dialectics? Not related at all. Credits and controversy? They have nothing in common. Universal High School and destiny? They have nothing to do with the "universal laws of development" ... "Bright future"? It is being postponed - because the “Bright Past” has not yet been equipped. Agreements on common goals, ideals, principles, rules, orders, norms and values? No. There is not even an “analysis of the situation” - no one needs it! ...
The dialectic that was born in Europe in the house of the "Germans" - here again, in Russia - has no chance! More precisely: there are chances - but only if the "bright Past" - will last until the Last Judgment. "Our" current slogan is forward to the Apocalypse! I don't have statistics, they bashfully keep silent about it. Everything. Both Adepts and Opponents. How many industrial enterprises in THIS city of a million people have closed (bankrupt) in the last 20 years? The bankruptcy of the K**a industry is a consequence of whose actions? Whose strategy is this? External observation (mine) tells me that out of every TEN enterprises - ONE remains afloat. So the "industrial base" for the existence of "topical issues of dialectics" - died, ended, died. And here is where things get interesting! In particular, what happens after the death of the "basis", the realities of real life... There, in Europe, the demand for "dialectics" was provided by competition, wars and temporary peaces between competitors. But! Dialectics was born, not DEAD!
And here, with us, in Russia, the "industry" - the basis for the "dialectical understanding of history and reality" - is dead! And what kind of songs are needed at the funeral? In what pit should the co**se of dialectics be buried? The modest consideration that it - NULLED - does not free us from the disgusting smell: the dialectic, having zeroed out, stinks! After the funeral of someone close - you have to "rebuild" the world. Or move to another, different, not this one. It also seems ... some navigational aids are needed ... (((
I have, of course, a couple of comrades who hope to "reanimate" "industrial production." They say - let's buy new machines, train new personnel - and: we'll live! Let's get rich and successful! My friends don't understand that the "industrial world" is over. They have already missed. Because you have to change your mind. Return to your roots and step by step to part with the rubbish. Received as part of the "best in the world" "Soviet education"!
Not about the "industrial world" is worth thinking about. Don't revive him. Capitalism, industrial civilization: ended. "Classes"? Run out. "Class struggle"? Too. Many times in my life I came across people who were dissatisfied with existence. My question is what are you ready to do? Something that would make you different from others? I received stories about who is to blame for the fact that THIS person does not know how to be the author of his life. The author of his own destiny. Computers have freed many from their "attachment" to monotonous operations "near their workplace." I am talking about the workplace insofar as the "school board", education is industrial education. This is the production of "identical people" according to "identical programs". So - the funeral of industrial society, the funeral of dialectics, the nullification of dialectics - nobody needs it - in our great march into the Past: they create a challenge. The challenge is not to the Sovereign. And "philosophers". Who is ready to risk his head and say: “Sire! You missed! AFTER the dialectic, ANOTHER dialectic arises: post-dialectics, meta-dialectics – and not the theory of Armageddon!”
The nullification of THIS dialectic, in which there is always war - even when there is peace - as everyone is preparing for the next war, leads to a dialectic of accords, agreements, cooperation in this wonderful full world. There are no contradictions in the Fullness. There is the unity of the Fullness, its indivisibility. There - happiness, delight, surprise, joy, pleasure, children. Not: funerals and mourning. Fullness has no boundaries. TAM - other laws apply. Life there is different.
Another question is how to navigate the Portals. Where is the key? And in which direction does the door creak as it opens? And who is working as Peter today? Whose change?
