Example text

Also, in a truly dialectical explanation, an attempt should be made to show how this dialectical co-occurrence of the accomplishments and failures tends to resolve itself by leading to a new, higher level in the dialectical sequence. What Engels seems in fact to offer amounts to an "extenuation" of Feuerbach's failures. It appears that they do not have a really dialectical being, their coming into existence does not involve their dialectical opposites, the achievements. In Engels' explanation of Feuerbach's failures there can easily be found a semblance of a dialectical treatment.

The system and method of Hegel's philosophymay as well turn out to be the same dialectical extremes along which the real historical process of decomposition (Zersetzungsprozess) of the entity previously uniting those dialectical extremes evolves. This supposedly was the case with decomposition of the Hegelian school. Now, the ability to handle the internal contradiction of Hegel's philosophy as well as the ability to find a fruitful exit out of the confusion so dominant within the decomposed Hegelian school become for Engels the criteria against which the success or failure of philosophers, including Feuerbach, is measured.
