>Matter moves in an eternal cycle, completing its trajectory in a period so vast that in comparison with it our earthly year is as nothing; in a cycle in which the period of highest development, namely the period of organic life with its crowning achievement – self consciousness, is a space just as comparatively minute in the history of life and of self-consciousness; in a cycle in which every particular form of the existence of matter – be it the sun or a nebula, a particular animal or animal-species, a chemical combination or decomposition – is equally in transition; in a cycle in which nothing is eternal, except eternally changing, eternally moving matter and the laws of its movement and change. But however often and pitilessly this cycle may be accomplished in time and space, however many countless suns and earths may arise and fall, however long it may be necessary to wait until in some solar system, on some planet appear conditions suitable for organic life, however many countless beings may fall and rise before, out of their midst, develop animals with a thinking brain that find an environment that permits them to live, be it even only for a short period, we are, nevertheless, assured that matter in all its changes remains eternally one and the same, that not one of its attributes may perish, and that that same iron necessity which compels the destruction of the highest earthly bloom of matter – the thinking spirit – also necessitates its re-birth at some other place, at some other time.-Engels, The Dialectic of Nature

>>25285451Dialectic is the awakening of matter to itself and striving toward the noumenal, which is pure quality. Capitalism is the force of pure quantity that drags being back into the phenomenal. Knowledge is only attained by class consciousness since that is the point that being moved beyond the quantative "I" which inhibits knowledge of the noumenal.

that's a whole lot of words to say 'i dont believe in god'
>>25285489Which one?
>>25285442The cover of book is a mismatch
>>25285493the top one
>>25285504Which one bottoms?
>>25285507Whoever gets pinned first
bro was Aristotle pilled
>>25285518Marx saw his work as a continuation of Aristotle's in many respects
>>25285466Matter is by definition that which the Subject (noumena) is aware of. The Subject awakens to the fact that everything objective is only a reflection of itself to varying degrees, some more representative of it's source and some less so (matter being the most base and furthest away from the source), and that it has always been this way and always will be this way. It's not that through contradictions the absolute becomes, but that there were no contradictions in the first place and the absolute always was, is, and will be, forever.
>>25285550some more representative of the Subject*
>>25285442Retards get filtered by Marxist materialism thinking it is a denial of consciousness and reason when it is really a form of monism that asserts there is no difference. It is continuous with the idealists, even with Plato and Aristotle. They use this language of matter because, when they were writing, idealism had been coopted by the liberal “wizard” Hegel. I think we can go back and read the idealist godfathers, people like Fichte, profitably.
>>25285557>the liberal “wizard” Hegelhow in God's name is Hegel liberal?
>>25285557Spinoza was more of a denialist than Marx. Marx preserved a big of Hegel in his system.
>>25285550Matter is to mind as the seed is to the mustard tree
>>25285625His Outlines of a Philosophy of Right are explicitly liberal, anon; he explains how the state must expand markets and all the rest of it. His entire philosophy is liberal. Marx knew this, why don’t you? I have no fucking idea, you probably haven’t read much Hegel.
>>25285729>the state must expand marketsagain, how is this liberal?
>>25285683It's the opposite though, seed=potential mustard tree=actual. Mind is potential and matter is actual. Pure potentiality is pure subjectivity, it's Self, it's noumenal, it's like a blank canvas of possibility, matter is literally the opposite, it's the reification of possibility into actuality. Matter is objective, phenomenal, and not-Self. To say matter awakens to itself is to mistake matter for the Subject, but matter is defined as being an object and the Subject is always prior to any object of knowledge and/or perception. The only thing the Subject can awaken to is the fact that it does not exist in objects, thus there it ceases to stop objectifying itself, to project itself onto what it is not. Some objects of knowledge are more or less diluted, more or less like what it is the image of, but none of it is ultimately You.
>>25285784Consciousness doesn't begin all at once, it gradually develops.
>>25285825You're talking about epistemic knowledge, something that's accumulated and lost cyclically. The individual is born, they develop concepts and models of the world like object permanence, like separation, like recognizing the body in the mirror. Then of course they get older and develop more models, like that there are things happening on the other side of this planet, that things happened in the past, that things will happen in the future, that there are different ethnicities, nationalities, etc. Then you die and you lose all of this. Likewise, the rise of civilization can be seen analogously, people develop written language, they develop culture and art, they develop customs, rites, and rituals, they pass on knowledge, and then the civilization dies and crumbles into dust. Not all knowledge is lost sure but if we were to be able to see this with a long enough time scale we would see that this happens over and over again, there is no actual progression. This epistemic knowledge arises from the structure of reality which remains same no matter what. The laws which govern physics don't change anymore than the laws which govern metaphysics do. No matter what being it is, what time they find themself in, what culture they find themself in, what place they find themself in, the truth remains same.
>>25285885The truth does but in Marxist epistemology it is found as a class rather than as an individual, the physical laws you mentioned being a prime example. The truth is matter (dialectical matter not metaphysical matter) discovering itself, "know thyself"
>>25285493You know which God you smug kike!
>>25285503How so?
>>25285442ergodic hypothesisthis was the state of metaphysics up until information theory
>>25285729What the hell does that have to do with trannies?
