AB - Criticizes the preference for traits and abilities on the one hand, and balance and equilibrium on the other. Instead, emphasis is given to the study of the temporal order of concrete events brought about by conflicts and contradictions. In order to analyze event sequences and contradictions, the dialogue should serve as a basic topic and form of inquiry. Dialogues represent short-term changes. They need to be supplemented by studies of long-term changes during the life span of individuals and the history of society. A dialectical theory emplasizes contradictions and their synchronizations in short- and long-term development, both in the individual and in society. (58 ref)
