Dialectical naturalism

Okay kiddo, so dialectical naturalism is a big, complicated idea that grown-ups use to understand how things in nature and society change over time. Let me break it down for you.

Firstly, dialectical means that things in nature and society are always changing and evolving, and that this change happens because of two opposite ideas or forces that come together to create something new. For example, when hot air rises and cold air sinks, they create wind, which is a new thing that didn't exist before those opposing forces combined.

Secondly, naturalism means that things in nature follow certain rules and patterns, and we can study and understand those patterns to make predictions about the future. Think of it like how you know that trees lose their leaves in the fall and grow new ones in the spring.

So, when we put those two ideas together, dialectical naturalism tells us that things in nature and society are always changing and evolving because of opposing forces, and that we can study those patterns to understand how things will change in the future.

Does that make sense, kiddo?
