If you are using Internet Explorer 10 (or later), you might find some of the links I have used won't work properly unless you switch to 'Compatibility View' (in the Tools Menu); for IE11 select 'Compatibility View Settings' and then add this site (anti-dialectics.co.uk). I have as yet no idea how Microsoft's new browser, Edge, will handle these links.
If your Firewall/Browser has a pop-up blocker, you will need to press the "Ctrl" key at the same time or the links here won't work, anyway!
I have adjusted the font size used at this site to ensure that even those with impaired vision can read what I have to say. However, if the text is still either too big or too small for you, please adjust your browser settings!
Summary Of My Main Objections To Dialectical Materialism
[DM = Dialectical Materialism/Materialist, depending on context.]
~~~~~~oOo~~~~~~
[Posted 03/02/2007]
This piece is in response to the brainless ramblings of a comrade (Mr G) who, it seems, can't help parading his ignorance in public.
[Posted 04/02/2007]
More from our friend, Mr G.
[Posted 05/02/2007]
Yet more knock-about fun with Mr G.
I have collected together the above Essays -- and a few more -- at the above link.
The Old Appendix To Essay Seven
[Moved 21/02/2006.]
This page reproduces a debate between yours truly and several dialecticians over at Wikipedia back in 2006/07; it also contains my initial thoughts about Woods and Grant's execrable book: Reason in Revolt.
[Posted 26/03/2006.]
Mr D, intent on showing how closed-minded dialecticians can be.
Another Response To An 'Autodidact'
[Posted 25/08/2006.]
Mr D is at it again: name-calling and name-dropping, but still managing to give logic a wide berth.
We can at least be grateful Mr D is consistently trite, but that doesn't mean the things he says shouldn't be issued with a health warning.
This page contains my initial thoughts about Gollobin's vastly over-rated DM-textbook.
[Posted 12/08/2006.]
This Essay is in fact three shorter essays pasted together. I am only publishing it to defuse criticism of my appropriation of Wittgenstein's anti-metaphysical method -- criticism based on the erroneous belief that he was a conservative thinker. [This has now been superseded by the next Essay, below.]
This is a greatly expanded version of parts of the above Essay on Wittgenstein, which presents original research not found anywhere else.
[Posted 21/11/2014. Re-written: 23/07/16.]
[Posted 29/08/06. Re-written dozens of times, most recently, 23/02/2017.]
In response to requests from several comrades I have published a highly simplified outline of my main objections to DM.
[Posted 24/07/07. Also re-written dozens of times, most recently, 21/05/2017.]
For absolute beginners.
'Analytical And Dialectical Marxism' By Ian Hunt
[Posted 13/10/06. Re-written, 01/02/2012. ]
My initial thoughts on this seemingly important book.
Ex-Logician Soils Himself In Public
[Posted 17/05/2007.]
Socialist Unity Censors Debate
These two Essays were prompted by a debate that was censored..., er, sorry..., cut short, over at the Socialist Unity Blog a couple of years ago.
Engels And Mickey Mouse Science
Back in 2008, a letter of mine criticising Engels was published in the International Socialist Review. A comrade wrote a rather weak reply to it. This Essay is in response to that reply.
[Links to both the original letter and this comrade's reply can be found in this Essay.]
Unreasonable And Highly Emotional DM-Clones
This page contains links to sites where I have 'debated' dialectics with a wide range of comrades. Worth a visit just to see the extent of the damage that has been inflicted on the thought processes of those whose brains have been colonised by this Hermetic Virus.
Why All Philosophical Theories Are Non-Sensical
This is a very brief summary of Essay Twelve Part One, written for those with little or no background in Analytic Philosophy.
