| Toute une tradition philosophique oppose depuis Kant le « dogmatisme » à la « critique ». Or, les propositions philosophiques ont justement pour effet de produire des distinctions « critiques », c’est-à-dire de « faire un tri », de séparer les idées les unes des autres et même de forger des idées propres à faire percevoir leur séparation, et sa nécessité. Théoriquement, on peut exprimer cet effet en disant que la philosophie « divise » (Platon), « trace des lignes de démarcation » (Lénine), produit (au sens de rendre manifestes, visibles) des distinctions, des différences. Toute l’histoire de la philosophie le montre : les philosophes passent leur temps à distinguer entre la vérité et l’erreur, entre la science et l’opinion, entre l’intelligible et le sensible, entre la raison et l’entendement, entre l’esprit et la matière, etc. |

| Dialectical materialism is not, and never has been, a programmatic method for the solution of particular physical problems. Rather, dialectical analysis provides us with an overview and a set of warning signs against particular forms of dogmatism and narrowness of thought. It tells us: “Remember that history may leave an important trace”; “Remember that being and becoming are dual aspects of nature”; “Remember that conditions change and that the conditions necessary to the initiation of some processes may be destroyed by the process itself”; “Remember to pay attention to real objects in space and time and not lose them utterly in idealised abstractions”; “Remember that qualitative effects of context and interaction may be lost when phenomena are isolated”, and above all else, “Remember that all the other caveats are only reminders and warning signs whose application to different circumstances of the real world is contingent”. |

| In the nineteenth century, the heroic tradition of mechanism was incorporated, unhappily, into the dialectical materialism of Marx and Engels and their followers. […] made holy writ […] and for a while dialectical materialism stood in the way of the acceptance of general relativity in the Soviet Union. |
