Features: Dialectics is the living soul of Marxism, but in practice, people often treat it as the "stereotyped formula that can be applied to any topic," as criticized by Engels. In response to this situation, this book starts with a reflection on the fundamental propositions of dialectics by Marx, Engels, and Lenin, summarizes the theoretical legacy of dialectics, and explores separately the development theory, critical nature, and practical foundation of dialectics. It then focuses on elaborating Marx's dialectics of practical reflection and systematically argues the social life foundation, overall characteristics, main content, and basic categories of contemporary dialectical theory.
