ABSTRACT

This implies that the practical activity of people cannot be ‘frozen’ and subsumed under pre-

established general categories at ever-higher levels of abstraction, requiring that their relational

activity directs inquiry towards conceptual concretion. As everything is in a constant process of

becoming, dialectical concept-formation accepts the non-identity between a phenomenon over

time, between this phenomenon and another within a class of similar phenomena, and

between its development and its conceptual abstraction.
