Meaning and definition of dialectics :

 

Dialectics: A form of thought emphasizing change and managing opposites, that goes back to ancient Greece. It is a method of discovering the truth of ideas by discussion and logical argument and by considering ideas that are opposed to each other. The starting point of the dialectical movement is a thesis. In the next stage, comes anti thesis, when the thesis is shown to be inadequate and inconsistent. In the third stage, synthesis, the previous thesis and antithesis are reconciled and transcended. The new thesis becomes the basis for another dialectical movement. According to Takeuchi and Nonaka, knowledge is created by synthesizing what appears to be opposites and contradictions. It goes through seemingly opposing concepts such as tacit and explicit, chaos and order, micro and macro, self and other, mind and body, part and whole, deduction and induction, creativity and control, top - down and bottom – up, etc. Dialectical thinking can facilitate knowledge creation by transcending and synthesizing such opposites. For example, tacit and explicit knowledge are portrayed as polar ends. But they are complimentary to each other and also inter dependent. The exercise of one form of knowledge requires the presence and utilization of the other form. There is some tacit knowledge in every piece of explicit knowledge and some explicit knowledge in every piece of tacit knowledge. Takeuchi and Nonaka point out that organizations do not merely use information to solve problems. Organizations create and define problems, develop and apply knowledge to solve the problems, and then further develop new knowledge through problem solving. In short, an organization is far more than an information processing machine. It is an entity that creates knowledge through action and interaction. Dialectic knowledge creation occurs as people in the organization synthesize tacit and explicit knowledge through interactions with others and the environment.
