FOUNDATIONS FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Process of Cognition (How We Think)
[1] Objective process in motion [2] Subject seeks to reflect this process in its actual manifestation [3] In that subject [scientist], first, impressions of the phenomenon flash by (perception) [4] The something emerges [5] Afterwards
the concepts of quality number [the determination of the thing or the phenomenon] and quantity are developed [6] After that study and reflection direct thought to cognition of identity of difference-of
(of grounding?) of the essence versus the phenomenon-of causality, etc. [7]
All these moments (steps, stages, processes) of cognition prove in the direction from the subject to the object begin tested
in practice and arriving through this test at truth [8] The general,
universal connection and interaction of phenomena and processes must find its reflection in the inner connection of human
concepts. The scientific concepts or system of concepts (categories) formed by humans in the process of cognition is nothing
but a reflection of the internal connection of phenomena and processes [9]
In the course of cognition and practical activity, people set themselves definite goals and formulate various tasks. The ways
of attaining these goals and fulfilling these tasks, the complex of principles and modes of theoretical research and practical
activity constitute a method [10] As the initial point of scientific
cognition: abstractions make possible a mental reproduction of an object in all its basic connections and relations, such
as reproduction with the help of abstract concepts of an integral mental image of he object is called ascent (or advance)
from abstract to concrete. [11] An exact representation of universe,
of its evolution, galaxy, solar system, earth, formation of inorganic life forms to organic life forms; form single cell life
forms to multicellular life forms; from mammals to upright hominids; form upright hominids to thinking homo sapiens sapiens,
and the reflection of this evolution in the minds of men, can only be obtained with constant regard to the innumerable actions
and reactions of life an death, of progressive or retrogressive changes.
Goal of Scientific Study
[1]
Scientific study is incompatible with the substitution of abstract schemes with the study of real processes and phenomena [2] We must approach each question scientifically, not forgetting the underlying historical
connection, to examine every question from the standpoint of how the given phenomenon arose in the history and what were the
principal stages in its development and form the standpoint of its development to examine what its has become today [3] DHM requires a concrete analysis of a concrete situation and a strict account of the specific
features of the time and place of these processes and phenomena [4]
No formula even the most complex, can serve as a simple ‘guide' to penetrating into the essence of the subject matter
under research
Historical Facts
[1] The historical fact category is the foundation of
the entire edifice of historical science. No development of historical thought is conceivable without factual material [2] The historical process, being a chain of interconnected facts (simple and more complicated
facts), in itself may be regarded as a historical fact [3] In the
final analysis, the initial recording of data by any researcher cannot be absolutely neutral. It reflects to a certain extent
her/his position. Essentially, facts as objects of historical research cannot exist by themselves, without any evaluation [4] In selecting certain facts form an infinite number of events, the historian already begins
their theoretical interpretation and explanation in a real sense in the course of the analysis of data she/he rises an ever
higher level of their comprehension [5] As the scientist rises above
the empirical level of research, the historian increasingly uses the method of abstraction, that is the logical method, which
reveals the real essence of the historical [6] In any scientific
area, natural, social or historical, the available facts should be the starting point [7] We must not take individual facts, but the sum-total of facts, without a single exception, relating to the question
under discussion [8] Otherwise, there will be the inevitable, and
fully justified, suspicion that the facts were selected or compiled arbitrarily, that instead of historical phenomena being
presented in objective interconnection and interdependence and treated as a whole, we are presenting a subjective concoction
to justify whatever expedient position we have
Critical
Stages of Historical Research
[1]
The choice of a study area [2] Formulation of a problem [3] Finding out the sources for the study of the problem [4] Completing a complete literature review of all relevant literature [5] Interpreting the information obtained from the sources [6]
The study of authenticity (external critique) [7] The study of reliability
(internal critique) [8] Establishing facts about which there is direct
information in sources [9] Establishing facts about which there is
no direct information in the sources (along with verification) [10]
The ascertainment of causal relations (along with verification) [11]
The ascertainment of laws (along with verification) [12] Synthetic
summary interpretation (the answer to the researcher's question) [13]
Adequate discussion and evaluation of historical facts [14] Researchers
must present conclusions and entire dissertation in the form of a process unfolding, from the simplest relations of abstract
concepts to the most complex relationships [15] Knowledge obtained
from reliable sources plays the greatest role in establishing facts. Facts are established on the basis of sources, although
it is easy to see that one could not have obtained relative information from the source without knowledge from the outside
the source
Verification of any Historical Source
[1] A critical attitude of the historical to the source
and the need for its repeated verification presupposes a clear understanding of the fact that the source is always a more
or less distorted reflection of objective reality [2] The source
itself appears as the subjective element with regard to the objective one which it reflects [3] No matter how near to the truth the empirical data provided by sociology come, taken in their totality-and even
more so individually-they cannot explain the causes of major historical processes and phenomena [4] The most scrupulous sociological analysis based on a multiplicity of diverse mathematical
indicators cannot fully disclose the main springs of social development or determine the correlation between conflicting social
forces, or reveal the capability of the dominant trend to overcome or paralyze counter-trends operating within society [5] Research based exclusively on mathematical data that can be experimentally verified cannot
go beyond the study of certain local processes in their narrow pragmatic interpretation [6] In the final analysis, the science of history examines the factual data, above all, from the standpoint of their
conformity with reality, i.e., from the standpoint of their truth or falseness
General Outline for Studying Any Process
[1] Statement of the problem, i.e., an outline of the exact material process, phenomenon, object,
or thing [2] Establishment of concrete scientific properties, categories
(from general to specific; from appearance to essence [3] A historical
systematic presentation of the process from beginning to the stage of development it presently holds, taking specific care
with 3.1. An examination of the unity and struggle of opposites within
and between the contradictory aspects of the process 3.2. An assessment
of the quantitative and qualitative stage of development of these aspects of the process (consideration of objective conditions,
which allowed for the motion) 3.3. An assessment of the resolution
of contradictions quantitatively in the process, i.e., the negation of the negation [4] To understand the laws of development of a process one must not only understand the basic contradiction of the
process at each stage, but also what is the principal force for working out the basic contradiction and carrying the process
forward to the next stage [5] Base all conclusions on the concrete
analysis of concrete conditions [6] Take a revolutionary position
with that which is progressing forward, that which advances the process, that which demands to be born [7] Reproduction (scientific reflection) of an object in thought and in its objectivity and
concreteness means cognizing it in development, in history [8] In
conclusion, this historical method involves tracing the various stages of development of object in their chronological sequence,
in the concrete forms of their historical manifestations [9] The
resulting scientific knowledge can be an instrument of transformation of the world only when it is an objective and active,
practically oriented reflection of reality [10] Scientific knowledge
reflects the object; this means that the subject creates forms of thought that ultimately reproduce properties and laws of
the given object, that is to say, the content of knowledge is objective [11]
The idea is nothing else than the material world reflected by the human mind and translated into a form of thought
Preparation for Study
[1] We must study and investigate the real process. We must regard the conformity of a theory
to reality as its only criterion [2] Materialists must depict the
historical process correctly and accurately, and that insistence on, the selection of examples which demonstrate correctness.
Reflection?) of its method of expression [3] In studying any process,
scientists must subject an immense amount of factual material to analytical scrutiny, which becomes possible owing to extensive
use of statistical material, printed matter, official an personal documents, polls and comparative historical generalizations,
all of which should be used as the basis for theoretical model building of an actual objective reality [4] Explanation of the world form the world itself is the methodological principle [5] It is our task to reflect the objective motion of the world first-then we must devise means
and methods to change hat which needs changing
Elementary
Stages of Preparation for Study
[1]
A any elementary stage of knowledge, a deepening process is obtained chiefly by separating individual things form their general
connection and by studying the peculiarities of each [2] For this
there is necessary an accumulation of a great quantity of experimental data and observations concerning physical phenomena [3] There is necessary an inventory of animals, plants, and minerals and then their classification-i.e.,
a comparison and division of phenomena into classes and a description of their properties [4] On the basis of these more specific properties a system of classification is created and this in turn assists
us in our analysis of the characteristics of individual things [5]
In the study of a thing in its changes and also in the changes wrought in it by our practical activities, we must proceed
form the thing itself [6] The thing itself must be scrutinized in
its relations and its development [7] Objectivity of scrutiny (not
examples, not variations, but the thing in itself) [8] The whole
aggregate of the various relations of this thing to others [9] The
development of this thing (or phenomenon/process) its proper movement, its characteristic form of life [10] Only by understanding the object in its self movement can we find the point of departure
for changing it
Specific Special Stages of Societal Investigation
[1] Scientists must
first find its simplest, basic relations, to disclose in it the basic contradictions [2] To investigate their development and their conflict [3]
To investigate how the development of a contradiction prepares its resolution and determines the form of its resolution [4] To investigate the qualitative changes in the successive phases of development of a process,
the relative independence of movement of contradictory aspects, their mutual connection, their transitions one into the other [5] To disclose in the development of the conflict of opposites in any process the necessity
and also all the conditions and possibilities of its conversion into its own opposite [6] Such must be the course of study of any process in its emergence, development, decay and transformation into
a new quality [7] In conclusion, scientist must direct their attention
to the origin of the new, to the creation of the new premises, possibilities, conditions that will originate new processes
on the basis of the contradictions of the given process [8] The type
and character of the contending opposites, the degree of their development define also the character of the resolution [solution]
of their contradiction [fascism/social revolution] [9] Scientists,
in the process of investigation of contradictions, must necessarily distinguish the forms of resolution of contemporary, partial
contradictions (which make possible the development of the basic contradictions of a process) from the forms of resolution
of the basic contradictions of a process as a whole, which lead to the removal of that process [10] The final resolution of contradictions denotes the removal of both opposite aspects [11] Scientists must never ignore the concrete conditions of the development of a process,
all the qualitative uniqueness of its laws.
Criteria for
a Scientific Sociology
[1] The basic idea that the development of the economic formation of society is a process of natural history cuts
the ground from under the childish morality which lays claim to the title of sociology [2] We arrive at this basic idea by selecting from the various spheres of social life the economic sphere, by selecting
form all social relations the "production relations," as being the basic and prime relations that determines all
other relations [3] Hitherto, being unable to descend to such simple
and primary relations as the relations of production, the sociologists proceeded directly to investigate and study the political
and legal forms [4] They stumbled on the facts that these forms arise
out of certain ideas held by men in the period in question-and there they stopped. It appeared as if social relations were
established by man consciously [5] Moreover, this hypothesis was
the first to evaluate sociology to the level of a science from yet another aspect. Hitherto, sociologists had found difficulty
indistinguishing in the complex network of social phenomena which phenomena were important and which unimportant (that is
the root of subjectivism is sociology) and had been unable to discover any objective criterion for such a distinction. [6] As long as metaphysical sociologists confined themselves to ideological social relations
(i.e., such as, before taking shape, pass through man's consciousness-of "social relations" and no others) they
were unable to observe repetition and order in the social phenomena of the various countries, and their science was at best
only a description of these phenomena, a collection of raw material [7]
The analysis of material social relations (i.e., take shape without passing through man's consciousness; when exchanging
products men enter into relations of production without even realizing the social relations of production are involved in
the act) made it at once possible to observe repetition and order and to generalize the systems of the various countries so
as to arrive at the single fundamental concept: "formation of society" [8] It was this generalization that alone made it possible to proceed from the description of social phenomena (and
their evaluation from the standpoint of an idea) to their strictly scientific analysis, which, let us say by way of example,
selects "what" distinguishes one capitalist country from another and investigates "what" is common to
all of them [9] Thirdly and finally, another reason why this hypothesis
was the first to make a "scientific" sociology possible was that the reduction of social relations to relations
of production, and the later to the level of forces of production, provided a firm basis for the conception that the development
of the formation of society is a process of natural history
Scientific
Method of Sociology
[1] The
scientific method of sociology consists in regarding society as a living organism in a constant state of development [and
not as something mechanically concatenated and therefore permitting any arbitrary combination of individual social elements]. [2] the study of which requires an objective analysis f the relations of production that constitute
the given social formation and an investigation of its laws of functioning and development
Process of Scientific Formation of Theory
[1] Establishment of
the properties of the object [2] Summation of all pertinent previous
knowledge of the object [3] Formation of scientific concepts [4] Transition from only previously attained set of scientific theory to another level [5] Inference [6] The systematization
of the results obtained by scientific research/cognition and the pointing the way to new avenues of scientific knowledge [7] The most essential requirement of scientific application are 7.1. That the apparatus should ensure higher standards of precision of measurement and observation
possible in the area 7.2. That the study can be repeated (this is
essential because obtaining reliable results mostly requires a mass of data allowing for statistical processing, which eliminates
the influence of chance occurrences and disturbances) 7.3. That the
experiment should be conducted in conformity with a set of methods worked out before hand and ensuring replication and control
at every stage of the study or experiment
Relationship
between Theory and Method
[1]
Whereas theory is the result of a process of cognition that reproduces a certain fragment of existence, methodology is a way
of obtaining and building up such knowledge [2] Theory characterizes
knowledge itself, its structure, content and the degree, to which it corresponds to the object; method characterizes the activity
involved in acquiring knowledge. Method characterizes the conditions for obtaining the knowledge [3] Theory elates only to its object and is characterized by the degree to which it truly reproduces
the object. But a method may be true-in the sense of effective-in one cognitive situation, while leading to false conclusions
in another [4] In science, methodology often decides the fate of
a research project. Different approaches may lead to opposite conclusions being drawn to from one and the same factual material [5] Science is materialist to the core. Anything in it that is not materialist is not scientific
either [6] Consistent application of the principle of presupposes
that one is able in any inquiry to separate the objective from the subjective, actual processes from their interpretations,
the target of research from the means and forms of its cognition [7]
Theory is a system of ideal images reflecting the essence of the object being studied, its internal necessary connections,
and the laws of its functioning and development [8] Method is the
totality of ways and operations for gaining a theoretical and practical command of reality [9] Hence, theory performs an explanatory function, showing what necessary properties and connections are immanent
in the object, and by what laws it is governed in its functioning and development. As for method, it performs a relative function,
showing how the subject should approach the object she/he wants to understand or transform and what cognitive or practical
operations she/he should carry out to attain her/his goal [10] Any
scientific method is elaborated on the strength of some theory. If it is to be effective in attaining a cognitive or practical
goal, its principles should reflect the properties and relations of the object which is the target of cognition or practical
activity and these properties and relations are brought out and explained by theory.
Data Collection
[1] At best, European "Sociology" and Historiography brought forth an accumulation
of raw facts, collected at random, and a description of individual aspects of the historical process [2] By examining the totality of opposing tendencies, by reducing them to precisely definable
conditions of life and production of the various classes of society; [3]
By discarding subjectivism and arbitrariness in the choice of a particular "dominant" idea or in its interpretation
and by revealing that without exception, all ideas and all various tendencies stem from the conditions of the material forces
of production ism indicates the way to an all-embracing and comprehensive study of the process of the rise, development, and
decline of socio-economic systems-or any process for that matter. [4]
Precise facts, indisputable facts-are especially necessary if we want to form a proper understanding of any complicated, difficult
and often deliberately confused question [5] The most widely used,
and most fallacious method in the realm of investigation of social processes is to merely tear out individual minor facts
and juggle with examples [6] Selecting chance examples presents no
difficulty at all, but is of no value scientifically or of purely negative value [7] For in each individual case everything hinges on the historically concrete conditions [8] Minor facts, if taken out of their entirety, out of their interconnection, if they are
arbitrarily selected and torn out of context, are merely things for juggling, or even worse. [9] The inference is clear: we must seek to build a reliable foundation of precise and indisputable facts that can
be confronted to any of the ‘general' or example-based arguments now so grossly misused in sociological studies [10] And if it is to be a real foundation, we must take not individual facts, but the sum total
of facts, without a single exception, relating to the question under discussion. [11] Otherwise there will be the inevitable, and fully justified, suspicion that the facts were selected or compiled
arbitrarily, that instead of historical phenomena being presented in objective interconnection and interdependence and treated
as a whole; we are presenting a subjective concoction to justify what might prove to be a dirty business. [12] Facts are stubborn things. We must build a reliable, objective, concrete foundation of
precise and indisputable facts. We must take not individual facts, but the sum total of facts, without a single exception,
relating to the question under discussion. [13] historical requires
of us a strictly exact and objectively verifiable analysis of the relations of classes and of the concrete features peculiar
to each historical situation [14] This requirement is absolutely
essential forgiving a scientific foundation to action [15] Finally,
it is absolutely essential to grasp the incontestable truth that scientists (also social scientists) must take cognizance
of real life, of definite true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories the main
and general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.
Method of Data Organization
[1] Facts are ascertained by direct observation, analysis of document or by inquiry [2] At this stage of investigation it is important to ensue the stability, authenticity, and validity of primary
data [3] This is accomplished by re-checking facts, controlling observations
and inquiries, by a combination of different methods of information gathering [4] Selective observation presupposes the statistically valid selection of such facts from the general body of the
object under observation that would be sufficiently representative to enable the investigation to properly assess the tendencies
relating to the entire body of this kind

Scrutiny of Actual Data---Not Examples
- [1] Scientists need objective scrutiny, no examples, no variations, but
the thing in itself
- [2] Scientists must scientifically study the development of particular things,
processes, their own proper movement, their own lives
- [3] The world is not to be comprehended
as a complex of ready-made things, but as a complex of processes, in which the things apparently stable no less than their
mind-images in our heads, the concepts go through an uninterrupted change of coming into being and passing away, in which,
in spite of all temporary retrogression, a progressive development asserts itself in the end
- [4]
In nature there are no unchangeable things, all nature is made up of processes
- [5] Our mental
equipment makes us interpret sensation complexes in different ways, but all differences and distinctions exist only within
our consciousness
Description
- [1] A stage of scientific study which consists in recording the data of an experiment or observation with the help
of a definite system of designations accepted in science. Description is made both by means of the usual language and figures
and by special means comprising the language of sciences (symbols, matrices, diagrams, etc.)
- [2]
Description is a preparatory stage of transition to a theoretical study of an object
- [3] Without
description of facts it is impossible to explain them; on the other hand without empiricism is not enough for science
Analysis of Any Process from Emergence to Conclusion
- [1] In applying the method to a process under study, our task must be
to find the processes simplest, basic relation, to disclose in it the basic contradictions, to investigate their development
and their conflict
- 1.1. To investigate how the development of a contradiction prepares its resolution
and determines the form if its relation
- 1.2. To investigate the qualitative changes in the successive
phases of development of a process, the relative independence of movement of contradictory aspects, their mutual connection,
their transitions one into the other
- 1.3. To disclose in the development of the conflict of
opposites in any process the necessity and also all the conditions and possibilities of its conversions into its own opposite
- [2] An analysis of the movement of contradiction in its emergence, development and decay is the only way to a knowledge
both of the basic laws of development of a process and of the diverse concrete forms of its appearance in different stages
and in different conditions
- [3] Contradictions move, become intensified, go through a number
of stages in their development forming at each one of them new qualitative properties
- [4] Knowledge
of the contradictions of this or that process emerges most fully and visibly at the highest development stage of the process
- [5] Scientists must first disclose the specific quality of the internal contradictions of any process
- [6] It is only by setting in place of opposing dogmas, opposing facts and the relevant contradictions [not ideal
fabrications] which make up their concealed basis is it possible to convert sociology into a positive science
- [7] And then, to understand the movement of any process it is necessary to disclose amidst the diversity of its contradictions
and opposite tendencies, the basic contradiction which determines the development of the process as a whole; it is necessary
to disclose the source of its self movement.
Analysis and Synthesis - [1] Analysis is a mental separation of the whole into simpler component parts, aspects of properties,
and their purposeful and systematic study.
- [2] Synthesis is the mental combination and reproduction
of the connections and relations of the separate parts, aspects and elements that have been analyzed and comprehension of
the whole in its unity and motion. [An abstract mirror reconstruction, reproduction of an objective process]
- [3] In the course of cognition the object or phenomenon is mentally dissected through the abstraction of its various
aspects, properties, connections and relations and their
Development
Development is
essential, required motion, change in time - [1] Development may be ascendant or descendant,
may go from the external to the internal and vice versa, from the old to the new and vice versa, from the lower to the higher
and vice versa, from the accidental to the necessary and vice versa
- [2] Development of inorganic
systems, the living world and human society he governed by the laws of
- [3] occurs in the form
of a unity and conflict of opposites, a transition of quantity into quality and a spiraling negation of the negation-the destruction
of the old and the establishment of the emerging new
- [4] Each separate process of development
has stages. Those of preparation of the premises for its formulation, i.e., chiefly external motion [this stage may be called
the beginning of the process of development]
- 4.1. Emergence, i.e., the transition to internal
motion
- 4.2. Formation, i.e., the transformation by the new process of development of those conditions
form which it emerged
- 4.3. Development proper, or maturity of the process of development, i.e.,
its existence on its own basis
- 4.4. Death, decay of the process
- [5]
Development as a finite process form the very beginning contains in concealed form the tendencies leading from the lower to
the higher and form the higher to the lower
- [6] Direction is not only necessary in any separate
process of development but also develops together with it. For this reason the tendencies of development which are concealed
at the beginning, take form and develop, reaching the highest stage of their existence and manifestation at the highest stage
of development of a separate process
- [7] Only then do we see signs of the higher contained in
the lower and their theoretical reflection develop in full as well
- [8] Development is reproduced
in a theoretical form by means of logic. methodology allows scientist to reproduce in a theoretical form a mirror reflection
of any process in its movement toward resolution and transformation
Contradiction
in Any Process - [1] The study of mutual penetration of the identity of
opposites, demands a concrete inquiry into the contradictory aspects of a process in its movement and development. The conditioning
and mobility of all its facets, their conversion into each other
- [2] Antagonistic contradictions-those
contradictions are antagonistic, in which the struggle of indissolubly connected opposites proceeds in the form of their external
collisions which are directed on the part of the dominant opposite so as to preserve the subordination of its opposite and
of the type of contradiction itself; and on the part of the subordinated opposite and of the contradiction itself as well
- [3] The contradiction of any process is resolved, not by some external force, but by the development of the contradiction
itself. This is true also in regards to antagonistic contradictions
- [4] But in the course of
development of an antagonistic contradiction at its different stages, only the premises for its resolution are prepared and
ripen
- [5] The contradiction itself at every new stage becomes ever more intensified. An antagonistic
contradiction does not pass beyond the stages of its partial resolution
- [6] Antagonistic contradictions
are resolved by the kind of leap in which the internal opposites emerge as relatively independent opposites, external to each
other. By a leap that leads to the abolition of the formerly dominate opposite and to the establishment of a new contradiction
- [7] In this new contradiction the subordinated opposite of the previous contradiction now becomes the dominant opposite,
preserving a number of its peculiarities and determining by itself the form of the new contradiction especially at the first
stages of its development
- [8] But in emerging contradictions [differences which are not yet
clearly antagonistic] that do not have an antagonistic character, the development of the contradiction signifies not only
the growth of the forces making for its final resolution, but each new step in the development of the contradiction is at
the same time also its partial resolution
- [9] Not only does every unity contain within itself
polar opposites but these internal opposites are mutually connected with each other; one aspect of a contradiction cannot
exist without the other
- [10] The existence of two mutually contradictory aspects, their conflict
and their flowing together into a new category comprises the essence of the movement.
- 10.1.
If you limit yourself to the task of warding off the bad aspect (for the preservation of the good aspect) they by the separation
of these aspects you put an end to the whole process.
- [11] The mutual penetration of opposites,
the transition of one opposite into another, belongs to all processes. But to uncover and reveal this mutual penetration,
a careful, concrete analysis of the process is required.
- [12] We must not remain on the surface
of phenomena, but must express the essence of movement as the unity of opposites. Only by setting in place of opposing dogmas,
opposing facts, and the real contradictions which make up their concealed basis, is it possible to convert sociology into
a positive science. (productive forces-productive relations-basis-superstructure-ideological reflection)
- [13] After gaining a complete knowledge of each contradictory aspect within any unity of opposites, it is necessary
to specify the definite position that each of these two opposites in the contradiction hold.
- [14]
Scientists utilizing the materialist method are required to study all processes concretely and historically
- 14.1. Scientists must exhaustively disclose all aspects of the contradiction with their concrete relations
- 14.2. this will entail disclosing the definite position which each of the two opposites occupies in the contradiction
- [15] The mutual penetration of opposites, the transition of one opposite into another, belongs to all processes.
But to uncover and reveal this mutual penetration, a careful, concrete analysis of the process is required.
Antagonisms and Polar Opposites
- [1] The recognition that these antagonisms and distinctions are in fact to be found in nature, but only with relative
validity, and that on the other hand their imagined rigidity and absoluteness have been introduced into nature only by our
minds-this recognition is the kernel of the conception of nature
- [2] In any case natural science
has now advanced so far that it can no longer escape the synthesis
- [3] But it will make this
process easier for itself if it does not lose sight of the fact hat the results in which its experience are summarized are
concepts
- [4] But that the art of working with concepts is not inborn and also is not given with
ordinary everyday consciousness, but requires real thought and that this thought similarly has a long empirical history, not
more and no less than empirical natural science
Description of Presentation of Findings (Qualitative) - [1] Stage
1: Contradiction emerges in the form of a difference
- [2] Stage 2: Difference deepens into a
manifest contradiction, whose opposite sides are less and less able to remain in the framework of the former unity
- [3] Stage 3: Contradiction becomes a ‘dynamic' relationship driving towards resolution
- [4] Stage 4: The stage of resolution of contradiction is the natural culmination of the process of the development
and struggle of opposites. Whereas the whole previous process takes place within the framework of unity, the interconnection
of opposites, the stage of the resolution of the contradiction signifies the removal of this unity, disappearance, which coincides
with the fundamental qualitative change in the object
- [5] Stage 5: The resolution involves an
intensification and deepening of the contradictions which naturally ends in a sharp conflict between the opposing sides and
their polarization
- [6] Stage 6: The quality being born is obligated by force to destroy the
aspect which is moribund-dying
- [7] Stage 7: In no qualitative sphere of transformation can
a process undergo development without negating one's previous mode of existence, the mode of negation conditions further
development
- [8] Stage 8: The nature of a thing or process is determined mainly by the principal
aspect of a contradiction, the aspect which has gained the dominant position.
- [9] Stage 9: After
isolating the principal contradiction, we must divide the contradiction into its opposing aspects. Those aspects are not equal.
One is being born; while the other is dying.
Application of Mathematical Techniques
in the Presentation of Findings
- [1]
Mathematical operations presuppose a certain stability and independence of those things whose number and measurement is required.
And the less the stability and independence are, the more complex are those mathematical operations which are needed for the
study of the quantitative definitions
- [2] It is very easy and quite necessary to apply mathematical
calculations to machines, which work according to a definite, exactly established pattern whose separate parts have been made
and assembled in a purely external fashion
- [3] But try to submit the life of an organism to
the mathematical analysis and you will see that the fluidity and continuous mutual connections of vital processes convert
your calculations into empty play with mathematical symbols
- [4] Objective application of mathematics
to study: scientists must make use of scientific formulae, but they must never substitute them for an investigation of the
quality of economic processes. On the contrary, these formulae must serve scientist only as an auxiliary means of illustration
and for a more accurate expression of basic, concrete quantitative changes in the process
- [5]
Statistics play great part in science and in practice but in order correctly to make use of numerical data we must proceed
form the qualitative differences of the enumerated phenomena
- [6] First scientist must carefully
study quality, then quantity, and finally to re-study quality on the basis of all the data

For a full knowledge of quality of a thing it is necessary to determine its final limit, that the highest stage of its development
at which it goes over into another quality-into its opposite (artificial intelligent automated robots)
- [8] Thus for the knowledge of a quality we must disclose the highest stage of its development, the point of demarcation
for its changes, the quantitative final limit of its existence a the given quality
- [9] Both
quantity and quality are disclosed more fully in their unity. The disclosure of this unity is measurement in the widest sense.
The transition of quantity into quality and the reverse is nothing else than the revelation of the internal contradictions
of measurement. And that nodal point of change, at which the transition of quantity into quality takes place, expresses very
fully the measurement of the given thing
Process of Presentation of Development:
Our Ultimate Objective
- [1] In
studying any process, our primary objective is to understand the mechanism of development, scientifically
- [2] Thus to obtain a correct understanding of an event, o get to the bottom of it, we must critically test the evidence
of immediate observation and make a clear distinction between the seeming and the real, the superficial and the essential
- [3] Knowledge of the essence of things is the fundamental task of science. If essence and appearance directly coincided
all science would be superfluous
- [1] In a scientific experiment, a researcher must observe a
number of conditions. First the researcher must have some knowledge of the object, process or phenomenon
- [2] On the basis of the knowledge, the researcher determines the goal, procedure and means of staging the experiment
•[3] In the course of the scientific analysis, the researcher observes, measures and
records the facts obtained, classifies them, makes statistical computations, draws up tables, and plots charts and diagrams
for subsequent theoretical analysis
THEORY OF VICTORY OUTLINE
1.
The time span of 1492-2008+ is isolated as a context for study of the United States society, and the African movement for
liberation that develops within it. Not being an indigenous creation, this modern white economic system was initially transplanted
from Europe by the first white invaders who came into the Western Hemisphere, after they exterminated the indigenous nonwhite
people. The white Christian religion, the European-centered Greco-roman educational system, the white supremacist
legal system, white-benefiting economic system, the whites only political system, the white supremacist social system, and
the white-centered cultural system were all derived from European societies. They are still in place in 2008+, stronger, more
mature, over ripe, yet in the inital stages of rotting/decomposition/decay. Education, health care, recreation,
religion, transportation, law, mass media, language, government, criminal justice, housing, clothing, food, entertainment,
sport, family---everything is completely controlled by white Greco-roman/christian men. In such a white-supremist
system, only reforms have occured: Black people either assimilate (black to black/white to white/black to white), acculturate,
semi-separate within the nation where possible, or trickle/mass exodus out. These are the only options. In
short, Black organizations have suited up to assimilate, acculturate, semi-separate, or leave the country. Their militancy
is not the issue. Right wingers, conservatives, moderates, liberals, radicals and revolutionary all can/will be militant when
facing immanent danger/crisis. The thing that separates them is their direction---their objective, what they are attempting
to achieve. Study this carefully. 2. The complex basis, superstructure, and ideological reflection
of the society's economic system started small as a colony cell form and eventually grew from colonies to states
and from states into a federation of states and the nation that it is today. It was initially a white race/culture/class/gender
dominated system, created in the image and interest of whites (primarily a white slaver ruling class) from its inception,
basing its very existence on: (1) the extermination indigenous Chechimecans, (2) the seizure of their land, (3) the kidnapping
and enslavement of the African race, and (4) the working to death of millions of Africans. In its death throes,
today, this moribund white society will show all of the genocidal tendencies that were present at its founding. Therefore,
it is crucial to know the fundamentals, the physics, the essentials, the core elements of Black development in this white
society---minus the fake, feel-good stories.
Final Openings The United States, Europe and the countries of Africa,
South America, the Caribbean Island, as well as Asia and the South Pacific Islands will continue along their own historical
evolutionary path, using up all stages of the productive forces bequeathed them. Robotic computer driven technology
will replace human labor in increments with Blacks being first fired in mass, then set up for extermination. Like clockwork,
these societies will reach their own natural historical points of exhaustion, they will decline, they will fall into decay,
they will rot, and they will die and be replaced by what is the next definitive stage in their unique yet inevitable process
of development. - 1. The internal decomposition, and decay of contemporary white
societies are historically outmoded and unable to reverse aging inevitably forces it into rotting destruction and ultimately
to its death, fascism and replacement by a higher form of society. This period of decay is genocidal for Africans, who are
the historical scapegoat. There is a point of no return, a period of mass disengagement, mass breaking away from whites. This
window of opportunity will be relatively short in duration. But it will be critical, because if it is not taken advantage
of, the sons and daughters of ancestors who survived the Holocaust of Black Enslavement and who crossed the Oceans of Blood
will be completely wiped from the face of the earth---exterminated. Those who cannot work will not eat; the whites won't
feed, clothe, and shelter another race of people. Joblessness equals prison, prison equal work camps, work camp in the end
equal gas chambers, ovens and mass graves.
- 2. After disengagement, three opportunity for reengaging
with the Black race on the Black continent are an option. Africans on both sides must cultivate this historical moment of
righting historical wrongs. Conception, birth, development, identify, antagonistic contradictions, intensification, open antagonism,
break, rupture, polarization, mass migration, interpenetration of opposites within the same unity, birth of new quality.
- 3. Africans are not fighting to reintegrate in the enemy's genocidal fold; the Black visionary is not fighting
for system adjustments to benefit token grievances at the periphery, but a complete break, a complete transformation, and
a complete end to the legacy of enslavement and subservience to whites, arabs and jews. We have the moral and historical obligation
to professionally and systematically organize our misery, our suffering, our enslavement, and our exploitation end our long
night of oppression in someone else's house and land. Our obligation is to carry this out scientifically in accordance
with the laws of social science. Praying to their rundown gods, begging, pleading talking, marching, bluffing, posturing,
and faking will not solve our problems. Surely there will be those who, trembling with fear but talk a good game, will break
and run in the hour of judgment, the hour of deeds. Do not run after them; go forward, not backwards; start with self, even
if no one else steps up.
- 4. From heroic tiny seeds, we will remake our world in rightness.
This is purpose to which all innocent souls can aspire---in this lifetime----the definitive new Black civilization toward
which 21 billion years of matter in motion---that part of eternal matter that we know of---is unrelentingly headed toward.
Everything starts with a small seed. The seeds for the New Black civilization have been germinated. There is nothing that
we cannot accomplish. All of this toward a single irrepressibly new Black civilization without white, arab, jewish or degenerate
african domination, without enemy destructive control, morally sound, culturally vibrant, economically self reliant, technologically
advanced, militarily self sufficient, without male domination, without exploitation or oppression.
- 5.
A modernized African KMT model will stand in Black again all over Africa and in the African Diaspora with modernized Black-centered
beliefs, culture, civilization, pyramids, temples, monuments, science, technology, language, clothes, architecture, food,
education, initiation, morals, military, mind, bodies, and souls; this time Black KMT with a tempered steel spine, arms that
end, minds that plan, hearts that see, hands that do, and instant retribution to all who cross the continental line in the
sand. Creatively interwoven with universal Black culture, Africa will be reborn again with Black ancient KMT as its foundation,
as its model, as its heart and soul.
In sum, these and other social/societal movements
will come and go as nations rise and fall. And yet, there is opportunity in the transition from one mode of production
to another; the social, political, legal, military, cultural, moral, educational, familial, and economic structure of the
society in question will become vulnerable and in the process disintegrate. Within
this moment, the final solution to a great 2700 problem will be posed and imposed; life or death, independence or execution,
clarity or confusion, exodus or extermination will be the options. History shows that the Black race must assume the
cost---no liberation movement has succeeded without a great price. So the race/class/sex/culture/generation must be prepared
for the bloodbath that is sure to come this time, and must prepare to cross the rivers then the ocean on wings of steel.
