Can you provide your understanding of what the word "dialectics" mean to you?

Question

Use the ideas behind the term.. or commonly associated with it to provide your explanation. Words like 'interpolation' are encouraged. You probably need some background in philosophy to tackle this question, but give it your best shot anyway,

Answer 1

Dia: through + Lectics: lexicons = Speaking through.

Synonyms are OK to explain the significance of some words, but understanding their true meaning is much better.

Don't you just hate someone decided not to teach greek and latin in schools anymore?

Answer 2

Sorry, I haven't used words like 'interpolation' . If you're wanting a serious philosophical response or debate, then this site is too restrictive for space.
Are you a philoophy student looking for angles? Good luck with your paper!

All too often, it becomes a political discussion.

For those that believe in God vs. those that don't, it's a never-ending debate.

For me, it's the question no-one has answered satisfactorily.."Why can't there be life on Mars, Pluto, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus ... etc?
I'm not a believer either way; my butt's firmly caught on a barbed wire fence!
Conformists say all life forms must have the same conditions as Planet Earth.
Again, I ask "WHY?"
Can anyone explain how all people on our planet can survive in sub -70C as well as +40C? The climate change is difficult, but we can do it. So why can't life-forms develop on other extreme planets. "Why, why, why???!

I'm sure you've already discovered this in your own web searches, but:
"Dialectics is opposed to the formal, metaphysical mode of thought of ordinary understanding which begins with a fixed definition of a thing according to its various attributes. For example formal thought would explain: ‘a fish is something with no legs which lives in the water’.

Darwin however, considered fish dialectically: some of the animals living in the water were not fish, and some of the fish had legs, but it was the genesis of all the animals as part of a whole interconnected process which explained the nature of a fish: they came from something and are evolving into something else.

In classical philosophy, dialectic (Greek: διαλεκτική) is an exchange of proposition (theses) and counter-propositions (antitheses) resulting in a synthesis of the opposing assertions, or at least a qualitative transformation in the direction of the dialogue. It is one of the three original liberal arts or trivium (the other members are rhetoric and grammar) in Western culture. In ancient and medieval times, both rhetoric and dialectic were understood to aim at being persuasive (through dialogue). The aim of the dialectical method, often known as dialectic or dialectics, is to try to resolve the disagreement through rational discussion. One way — the Socratic method — is to show that a given hypothesis (with other admissions) leads to a contradiction; thus, forcing the withdrawal of the hypothesis as a candidate for truth. Another way of trying to resolve a disagreement is by denying some presupposition of the contending thesis and antithesis; thereby moving to a third
