The Original Context and Contemporary Significance of Engels's Theoretical Thinking Proposition
Through the analysis of the original context in which Engels proposed the topic of"theoretical thinking",it becomes evident that Engels explicitly defines the fundamental tools of"theoretical thinking"as"formal logic and dialectics".This embodies the profound understanding of the complementary and integrative mechanism between formal logic and dialectics(dialectical logic)by the founding figure of Marxism.To grasp this complementary and integrative mechanism,given the substantial development of modern logic,it is essential to discern and improve upon the two classical arguments of dialectical logic.This holds significant methodological implications for adhering to the scientific thought approach characterized by the"systemic perspective"in the conditions of the new era,as well as for the innovative development of dialectical logic.
