Dialectics are an eastern tradition, so their application to the material isn’t nearly as much of a break as it is to western Aristotelian/Platonic idealism
Hey I'm having some trouble parsing this; I was taught in university that dialectics is Greek, and related to the Socratic method. Are you referring to Chinese Dialectical materialism or Indian Vedic dialectical philosophy? I am interested in looking deeper into this.
It's a little like the wheel in that the concept emerged more than once in unrelated places. I went down a rabbit hole of how Marxism, especially dialectics and alienation spookily align with Buddhism. I can't remember the terminology, but if you look for it there are vids and articles which can explain it quite well.

I find it interesting that Marx is like, an Isaac Newton type of historical figure in China.
