Note 12. To the Subsection “3. Dialectical Logic (Marxist Logic)”
Concerning dialectical logic, the Japanese author Tsunenobu Terasawa wrote in the preface of his An Essay on Dialectical Logic, “About 150 years have passed since Hegel wrote Science of Logic (1812-1816), and in the meantime, no system of dialectical logic to replace it has been written by anyone. Even though the need for dialectical logic from a materialist position has often been emphasized, it has not as yet been written systematically by anyone.” Science of Logic (in Japanese) (Tokyo: Otsuki Shoten, 1957), p. i. And even after Terasawa wrote that, no systematized dialectical logic seems to have appeared.
