Editing Dialectic (section)

=== Dialectical naturalism ===
[[Dialectical naturalism]] is a term coined by American philosopher [[Murray Bookchin]] to describe the philosophical underpinnings of the political program of [[Social ecology (theory)|social ecology]]. Dialectical naturalism explores the complex interrelationship between social problems, and the direct consequences they have on the ecological impact of human society. Bookchin offered dialectical naturalism as a contrast to what he saw as the "empyrean, basically antinaturalistic dialectical idealism" of Hegel, and "the wooden, often scientistic dialectical materialism of orthodox Marxists".<ref>{{cite book |editor-last=Biehl |editor-first=Janet |editor-link=Janet Biehl |date=1997 |title=The Murray Bookchin reader |location=London |publisher=Cassell |page=209 |isbn=0-304-33873-7 |oclc=36477047}}</ref>
