‘‘‘Dialectical Taxonomy’’’ -- E.D. Definition.

Dear Reader,

This blog-entry is for the purpose of sharing, with you, the definition of the term ‘‘‘Dialectical Taxonomy’’’ from our forthcoming Encyclopedia Dialectica, volume 0, entitled ‘Encyclopedic Dictionary for a Unified Theory of Universal Dialectics’ --

“A ‘‘‘dialectical taxonomy’’’ is, first of all, a human-cognitive division/«diairesis»/sorting -- of the «monads» or units/individuals ‘‘‘populating’’’ a given Domain of ontolog(y)(ies), or universe of discourse -- their sorting into . . . «Genos» ontological categories, and into their «species» ontological categories. . ., thus including the partial «synagôgê»/collection of each group of «species» category-units into their «Genos» category-unit, i.e., as an instantiation of that which we term ‘vertical «aufheben» dialectic’ [the aspect of F.E.D. dialectics with the clearest roots in our demystification of Plato’s dialectic] -- that is  . . . the ‘meta-unit-ization’ of «species» categories-as-units into their «Genos» category-as-unit . . . .”

“A ‘‘‘dialectical taxonomy’’’ is, further, an ‘«aufheben» taxonomy’ in the sense of that which we have termed ‘horizontal «aufheben» dialectic’, in our ‘unified theory of universal dialectics’.  This means a taxonomy -- a system of ‘‘‘class-ification’’’ of individuals/«monads» together with their ‘similants’ -- structured in accord with the «aufheben» ‘meta-«monad»-ization’ relationships among its ‘self-hybrid’ ontological categories, and their ‘self-hybrid’ «monads» -- that is, among their ‘self-hybrid’ “taxa”, i.e., among their ‘‘‘dialectical synthesis’’’ or ‘uni-«physis»’, “taxa”.”
