Subject: Re: dialectics, two-valued?


     My questions were not directed at Jukka, although
he has supplied some very informed commentary.
     Let me clarify one point.  There are really two
competing "two valued systems" involved in dialectics.
One is the "unity of opposites."  The other has to do
with truth values.  Now, I suspect that modern dialectical
philosophers might question this, but as near as I can
tell the Greek dialecticians (who included Aristotle)
along with Hegel, Marx, and Engels  accepted two-valued
logics in terms of truth versus falsity.  Some things are
true and some are not, even if categories interpenetrate.
