HISTORICAL PROBLEMS OF DIALECTICS AND DIALECTIC THINKING
The articLe deaLs with the issues of operating with the concept of "diaLectic", depending on its incLusion in the semantic series "metaphysics" or in the semantic series "formaL Logic". The understanding of diaLecticaL thinking directLy depends on this. The author anaLyzes phiLosophers of different eras, whose views couLd differ and even contradict each other. But at the same time, a common semantic fieLd was created, anaLyzing which it is possibLe to cLarify the main features of the diaLecticaL view of the worLd, which is based on the identification of opposites that are in a state of contradiction, and aLso recognizes the possibiLity of the absence of contradiction between these opposites.
