    Figures:

    Figure 1 - 3:25
    The categories of specific sciences are limited to the scope of study, while the categories of materialist dialectics encompass all things, phenomena, and ideas.

    Figure 2 - 6:34

    Figure 3 - 8:25
    All private subjects have attributes in common with other private subjects.

    Figure 4 - 9:15
    All private subjects have attributes in common with other private subjects.

    Figure 5 - 10:04
    All things, phenomena, and ideas contain the unique, the private, and the common.

    Figure 6 - 12:27
    “Unique” things, phenomena, and ideas can become “common” through development processes (and vice-versa).

    Figure 7 - 27:23
    Dialectical analysis of private and common characteristics involves observing private subjects to determine common attributes and considering common attributes to gain insights about private subjects.

    Chapter 3: Cognitive Theory of Dialectical Materialism

    Figures:

    Figure 1 - 2:02
    In the process of development, Quantity Change leads to Quality Change.


    Figure 2 - 3:40

    All of these have the quality of water because of the molecular quantities of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, however, from the perspective of volume, quantity changes still lead to quality changes.

    Figure 3 - 5:21
    The same human being will undergo various quality changes as age quantity increases over time.


    Figure 4 - 6:09
    Metaphysics only consider linear properties of quantity change; Materialist Dialectics takes quantity changes and quality shifts into consideration when considering change over time.

    Figure 5 - 8:06
    The concept of “change” in materialist dialectics centers on internal and external relationships causing mutual impacts which lead to quantity changes which build into quality shifts.

    Figure 6 - 10:34
    Both flooding and flood recession are development processes with the same forward tendency. Flood recession may appear to be a “reversal,” but it is in fact forward development.

    Figure 7 - 14:08
    Dialectical Development consists of Quantity and Quality Shifts, which in turn derive from motion.

    Chapter 3: Cognitive Theory of Dialectical Materialism

    Figures:
    Figure 1 - 0:39
    The Principle of General Relationships and the Principle of Development are the most basic principles of materialist dialectics. These two principles are dialectically related to one another.

    Figure 2 - 5:40

    Figure 3 - 7:14

    Figure 4 - 10:28
    An infinite diversity of relationships exist within the unity of the material world.

    Figure 5 - 11:14
    Universal relationships which unite all things, phenomena, and ideas manifest in infinitely diverse ways.

    Figure 6 - 13:02
    All things, phenomena, and ideas have the relative characteristic of objectiveness.

    Figure 7 - 13:42
    Alice and Bob are external to one another; each is objective from the other’s perspective.

    Figure 8 - 14:14
    The relationship between Alice and Bob has objective characteristics to both Alice and Bob.

    Figure 9 - 24:14
    The comprehensive viewpoint sees the subject in terms of all of its internal and external relationships.

    Figure 10 - 47:47
    A historical viewpoint focuses on the roles and positions of relationships and properties of subjects as well as their development over time.

    Consciousness exists as a dynamic set of relationships between the external material world, human sense perception, and the functions of the human brain.

    Figure 2 - 5:09
    This chart outlines the basic development tendency of Forms of Reflection in matter which lead from inorganic matter, to life, to human consciousness and society.

    Physical Reflection: Change in Structure

    Figure 5 - 7:46
    Chemical Reflection: Single Replacement

    Figure 6 - 46:07
    This diagram is based on work from an article titled “Evidence in Hand: Recent Discoveries and the Early Evolution of Human Manual Manipulation.”[footnote 15] Modern research has discovered strong evidence [footnote 16] that the human hand evolved along with tool use, in line with Engels’ analysis in Dialectics of Nature.

    Figure 7 - 48:00
    Human language and human labor mutually develop one another through a dialectical process to develop human nature. Simultaneously, human nature and human society mutually develop one another through a dialectical process.
