Can anyone who is more well read tell me if there is any philosophy work that revises the theory of dialectical materialism in light of modern scientific advances? I just finished Elementary Principles of Philosophy (FLP edition) which was extremely enlightening but some of the scientific examples are dated and it got me thinking. Physics (and all sciences for that matter) has advanced quite a bit in the past fifty years and I'd love to read a principled critique/investigation/discussion on how our current understanding of nature modifies our understanding of materialism. Also if there are any critiques of idealism in the understanding of modern science

    Here is one, basically it's all fucking Zhdanov's fault, like so many cringe things about Socialist Art and Science. I have a translation of the Ju and Xu article in hardcopy around here somewhere gestures at pile of books.

    Unfortunately, the Cultural Revolution events in the TBP actually happened, though they're a bit over-dramatised.
