THE MARXIST DIALECTIC. A REPLY TO MARINO LLANOS VILLAJUÁN

Abstract

This article is a reply to the Peruvian philosopher Marino Llanos, who in his article “Crítica de la dialéctica marxista” presents a completely distorted vision of dialectics. This text analyzes the blunders of Llanos in order to access to a more rigorous and exact vision of the dialectical logic. In the same process, some dialectical categories and principles are applied as a means to critique the position of this philosopher, and also it is established the relation between the formal logic and the dialectical one, and between the positivist science and the science in a dialectical perspective, all of this in the actual context of the systemic crisis experienced from 2008.
