Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels tried to transform Hegel’s Dialectic based on Idealism into an historical materialism to bring about a practical application of this theory. They transferred the theory on certain aspects of human mankind and history to gain insight and deeper knowledge into the development of mankind.<ref>Wolff, Jonathan and David Leopold (2021).

They see dialectical contradictions as driving forces of social development and class struggle.<ref>[[Dialectics]]: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels tried to transform Hegel’s Dialectic based on Idealism into an historical materialism to generate an practical effort to the theory</ref> | |||
'''Dialectic Man vs Nature''': The opposition man vs nature builds the foundation of the Marx/Engel’s approach on dialectic. In this approach mankind transforms and subjugate nature. At the same time, they develop skills to produce. While mankind is changing nature, it also changes itself. This leads to an everlasting synthesis (''ibidem''). | |||
By reducing the social reality to economical categories, Marx and Engels tried to gain a deeper understanding of the history of mankind. They categorize society into two different classes, ''bourgeoisie'' and ''proletariat''. Both appeared with the advent of the industrial revolution. Ever since those contradictory poles have influenced each other in a dialectical way (''ibidem''). | |||
