The purpose of this essay is to investigate in detail the notion of “dialectic,” and more particularly to do so by looking at the origins and operational logic of Mao Ze-dong's military strategy. We are all aware of the Western dialectical tradition in philosophy; Hegel in The Logic traces this tradition from Parmenides, Socrates and Plato to Immanuel Kant. More recently, the French sociologist Lucien Goldmann has illuminated later moments in this line of thought, placing Racine and especially Blaise Pascal before Kant, and analyzing the theoretical contributions of Marx and Georg Lukacs. What many of us might well not realize, however, is that our Western dialectical tradition is paralleled by dialectical traditions in other civilizations
