		Dialectical Materialism (Doctrine in metaphysics and politics) — Dialectical materialism is the doctrine or theory of history espoused by Marxism.

		Even though dualism is a kind of pluralism and is opposed by monism, practically speaking dualists often put their emphasis on the "higher", more spiritual reality that their theoretical separations construct, so that they are often construed as adherents of idealism or transcendentalism, even though this is not strictly the case.

		The word "dialectical" is used to express this sort of continuous change, which is thorough and proceeds from one extreme to another.
		In philosophy, "dialectical" is an ancient term, employed to express the course of an argument that moves from one view to its opposite, from the upholding of an idea to the upholding of its denial through the establishing of a contradictory idea, to the upholding of a denial of that denial, and so on.

		Dialectical polar monism holds that: (1) the cosmos and its contents are substantively and formally identical with teotl; and (2) teotl presents itself primarily as the ceaseless, cyclical oscillation of polar yet complementary opposites.
		Being and not-being are simply two dialectically interrelated presentations or facets of teotl, and as such inapplicable to teotl itself.
		Note however that although metaphysically immanent within human hearts (in keeping with Nahua metaphysical monism), teotl is nevertheless epistemologically transcendent in the sense that humans are not guaranteed knowledge of teotl.

		The polar aspects must work together in a dialectic -- a dialectic that never closes and never reaches a synthesis; for, if it did, dipolarity would collapse into the nonpolarity of sheer actuality or sheer possibility, either of which would mean the end of ordered reality as we experience it.
