>and Modern Science by Kenneth Cameron
(International Publishers New York 1995) is an interesting modern attempt
to uphold dialectical materialism in a non dogmatic way.
The more formal statement from Maurice Cornforth, 1951, based on lectures
given to the London District of the Communist Party states:
"Dialectical materialism, the world outlook of the Marxist-Leninist Party,
is a truly scientific world outlook, for it is based on considering things
as they are, without arbitrary, preconceived assumptions (idealist
fantasies); it insists that our conception of things must be based on
actual investigation and experience, and must be constantly tested and
re-tested in the light of practice and further experience.
Indeed 'dialectical materialism' means: understanding things just as they
are ('materialism'), in their actual interconnection and movement
('dialectics')."
