| dc.description | Karl Marx proposed a dialectical methodology of science from simply observing the harmony which evolves from the processes of thesis, antithesis and the synthesis of operational processes in human nature. Consequent on this proposition, debates among scholars have questioned the scientificity of the dialectical method of science upheld by all Marxists. Armed with the deconstructive critical methods of analysis in philosophy, this study analyzed the historical foundations of the scientific methods proposed by Karl Marx with the view to determine its relevance and the future of this dialectical methodology of science in the 21st Century. The study among other things discovered that, though the three laws of the dialectical processes proposed by Karl Marx portrays some scientific rudiments, as postulated in their conception of socialism, the conclusion that the process which birthed socialism is scientific is considered simply baseless and scientifically untenable, with little or no future for this dispensation | |
