在恩格斯的观念中,辩证法并不仅仅是一种认识的方法,它还具有客观自然的性质。在恩格斯看来,辩证法的基本观点就是把所有事物都看成是在普遍联系的相互作用中永恒变化、运动的过程。恩格斯提出的很多辩证法思想都与当代科学的相关理论相契合。例如:普遍差异必然产生普遍相互作用;相互作用必然通过中介环节;事物整体演化具有进化和退化两个分枝相互转化的永恒大循环的特征;某些蕴涵着全息论的思想;等等。 In Engels’s conception, dialectics is not merely a method of knowing, but it is also objective and natural in nature. In Engels’s opinion, the basic idea of ​​dialectics is to regard everything as an eternal process of change and movement in the interaction of universal relations. Many of the dialectical ideas advanced by Engels are compatible with the relevant theories of contemporary science. For example, universal differences inevitably lead to universal interactions; interactions inevitably go through intermediary links; things have the characteristics of an eternal cycle in which evolution and degeneration of two branches transform each other; some imply holographic theory; and so on.
