This document provides an overview of Dialectical Materialism presented by Surya Pratap Singh. It discusses how Dialectical Materialism uses logical and scientific evidence to explain how societies developed and changed over time, from early humans to modern capitalist and socialist societies. The document also summarizes the origins of dialectics in Hegel's work and how Marx adapted it to focus on matter rather than ideas as the essence of the world, using dialectics to understand historical changes as stages defined by contradictions resolved through conflict.
