Dialectical Materialism is a philosophical approach that combines dialectics and materialism. It emphasizes the importance of real-world conditions and social practices in shaping human thought and society. This perspective, rooted in the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, argues that material conditions, such as economic factors, drive historical development and social change. The dialectical aspect refers to the process of change through contradictions and conflicts. It suggests that progress occurs through the resolution of these contradictions, leading to new forms of social organization. This framework is often used to analyze societal issues and advocate for social change based on material conditions.
