Heraclitus said that everything in the world determines the law of the struggle of opposites.Any phenomenon or process testifies to this.Acting at the same time, opposites create certain state of tension.They are determined by what is called the inner harmony of things.The Greek philosopher explains this thesis an example of the onion.Bowstring pulls the ends of the arms without letting them to disperse.Thus, mutual tension generates the highest integrity.So it implemented the law of unity and opposition.He, according to Heraclitus, is universal, is the core of true justice and a condition for the existence of an ordered cosmos.
dialectic philosophy believes that the law of unity and struggle of opposites is the fundamental basis of reality.That is, all objects, things and events are some contradictions within itself.It may be the trend, some forces that are fighting each other and interact simultaneously.Dialectical philosophy proposes to clarify this principle to consider the categories that concretise it.First of all, the identity, that is, equality of things or phenomena themselves.There are two varieties of this category.First - this is the identity of the subject, and the second - the whole group of them.The law of unity and struggle of opposites is manifested in the fact that the subject is a symbiosis of equality and difference.They interact, giving rise to the movement.In any given phenomenon of identity and difference are opposites that cause each other.Hegel defined it philosophically, calling their interaction contradiction.
themselves our understanding of the sources of development based on the recognition that everything is not integrity.It has samoprotivorechiem.The law of unity and struggle of opposites is manifested, therefore, as such interaction.For dialectical philosophy of Hegel sees the source of movement and development in the thinking and materialistic followers of the German theorist has found it in nature, and, of course, in society.Quite often in the literature on this subject can be found two definitions.This is the "driving force" and "a source of development."They are usually distinguished from each other.If we are talking about immediate, internal contradictions, they are called source development.If we are talking about external, secondary causes, then it refers to the driving forces.
law of unity and struggle of opposites also reflects the instability of the existing balance.Everything that exists changes and undergoing various processes.In the course of this development it is particularly specific.Therefore, the contradictions too unstable.In the philosophical literature to distinguish four basic forms.Unlike identity-as a kind of embryonic form of all contradictions.Then it's time to change.Then contrast begins to form as something more expressive.Then it turns into a substantial modification.And, finally, it is the opposite of where to start the process - non-identical.From the standpoint of dialectical philosophy, forms of contradictions characteristic of any development process.
