A COURSE IN DIALECTICS, Part 3 – Related Notational Conventions: Pictographical/Geometric/Diagrammatical Representations.

 

A COURSE IN DIALECTICS, Part 3 –

Related Notational Conventions: Pictographical/Geometric/Diagrammatical Representations.

 

 

Dear Reader,

The JPEGs posted herewith describe, either generically, or by specific example, the ‘depictive’ representational conventions that we employ for the pictorial expression of dialectical processes, dialectical relations, ‘dialectical equations’, and the ‘dialectical-ontological category-symbols progressions’, or ‘ontological units/monads-symbols progressions’, which those ‘dialectical equations’ reflect.

 

Perusing these images should give you a good grasp of the pictographical ‘language of dialectics’ that we have developed for the intuitive description of both ‘‘‘systematic-dialectical’’’ and ‘‘‘historical-dialectical’’’ ‘ontological category-symbols progressions’ and ‘ontological units/monads-symbols progressions’, and should help to prepare you to understand the application of these language-forms to the application case-examples still to come in this course.

 

Please state any questions that you have regarding these images, and the ‘dialectical language’ that they document, below.  we will do our best to answer such queries.

 

 

 

Dialectically yours,

 

Karl Seldon

‘DIALECTICS MADE EASY’ Update.

 




‘DIALECTICS MADE EASY’ Update. 

 

 

Dear Reader,

 

FYI: a PDF of a re-enhanced version of Edition 1.1 of Seldon’s new, 82-page booklet –


 

‘DIALECTICS MADE EASY’.


 -- has just been posted to the F.E.D. dialectics.info web site.


Our [re-]iterated [self-]critique of that text, both internally, and via external reviewers, has led to many enhancements vis-à-vis the earlier-posted version of this booklet, including expanded coverage for some of the key, exemplary topic-areas, and the closing of explanatory gaps in several of our most crucial explanations.

 

Check out, and download, free-of-charge, the new PDF of this booklet, from the Applications Page of –

www.dialectics.info .



A hard copy book [codex] version of this text is being made available via our Etsy store --


https://www.etsy.com/shop/DialecticsMATH


-- but this book is expensive to produce.  


If you do not need a book version of this text -- e.g., as a collectors' item, or because of the "handiness" of the codex "packaging" of this text, etc. -- we recommend that you take advantage of the "free of charge" PDF version, and download it at its "price" of US$0.00 !

For partially pictographical, ‘poster-ized’ visualizations of many of these Seldonian insights -- specimens of ‘dialectical art’ -- see:

¡ENJOY!

A COURSE IN DIALECTICS, Part 2 – Related Notational Conventions, Ideographical/Arithmetic/Algebraic.

 

A COURSE IN DIALECTICS, Part 2 –

Related Notational Conventions, Ideographical/Arithmetic/Algebraic.

 

 

Dear Reader,

The ‘text-images’ posted herewith describe the notational conventions that we employ for the written expression of dialectical relations, ‘dialectical equations’, and the ‘dialectical category-symbols progressions’ which those ‘dialectical equations’ involve.

 

Perusing these ‘text-images’ should give you a good grasp of the ideographical ‘language of dialectics’ that we have developed for the precise formulation of both ‘‘‘systematic-dialectical’’’ and ‘‘‘historical-dialectical’’’ ‘category-symbols progressions’.

 

Please state any questions that you have regarding these images, and the ‘dialectical language’ that they document, below.  We will do our best to answer such queries.

 

 

 

Dialectically yours,

 

Karl Seldon
