A formal or semi‑formal logical system that incorporates contradiction as a driving force rather than an error. In dialectical logic, a proposition and its negation can coexist, and their tension leads to a synthesis that transcends both. It is not a single system but a family of approaches, including Hegelian and Marxist dialectics, that model change, development, and the unity of opposites. Dialectical logic theory is used in critical theory, political economy, and some branches of philosophy to analyze processes that classical logic cannot capture.
