Some of the people who're in charge are very into ultra materialist dialectics, like dialectics in natural sciences. One of the higher ups Alan Woods put out a book called reason and revolt back in the 90s that attempted to dialectically disprove the big bang, it's dialectics of nature drivel that I see no merit in lol.
Didn't Marx have intention to dive into that topic but simply never got around to it? Or was that Engels? I'm sure one of them posited that all of nature could be analysed that way and mentioned the intention to show it but bigger priorities were afoot.
Engels had a large amount of fragmentary notes on it that were posthumously published by Bernstein as the Dialectics of Nature. Engels intentions with them is still debated and they are not a choherent work given their fragmentary nature. Interestingly Einstein was consulted over their publication, and wanted them published as intellectual curiosities into Engels thought, but was firm they had no scientific value.
Cool. I knew that was locked in my brain from having seen it somewhere but at 5am I'm just not at all with it enough to dive into those deepest reaches for info.
IMT.
Interesting, I'm not sure what their view is, can you explain?
