I try to do the impossible - to make a review of dialectics from its origins in ancient Greece through history - in a conversational form.

Dialectics: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectic

Dialectics in ancient Greece - Zeno, Heraclitus.

Medieval dialectics - Eriugena, Eckhart.

Enlightenment dialectics - Rousseau, Hume.

German Classical Philosophy - Kant, Fichte, Shelling, Hegel.

Young Hegelians.

Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels.

The quotation is from Laszek Kolakowski "Main Currents of Marxism - 1. The Founders"
