The Systematic Dialectic of the Three «Species» of Opposition.
 
Dear Guest of this web site, I have incorporated herein, below, a blog-entry authored by my colleague, Miguel Detonacciones, and posted, earlier, to his ‘F.E.D. Dialectics’ blog. The version pasted-in below has incorporated some further edits suggested by the E.D. Editors of the F.E.D. Special Council for Encyclopedia Dialectica [E.D.], beyond those that were included in the original blog-entry. Enjoy!   Dialogically yours, Aoristos Dyosphainthos, Voting Member, F.E.D. General Council, Participant, F.E.D. Special Council for Public Liaison, Chief, F.E.D. Office of Public Liaison. The Systematic Dialectic of the Three «Species» of Opposition. 
 Dear Reader, The late Dr. Charles Muses was one of Karl Seldon’s early mentors. In Muses’ 1985 book, Chronotopology, Muses distinguishes two species categories under the general single category of opposition -- the species category that we have come to call that of ‘annihilatory oppositions’, as radically opposed, per Muses, to the species category that we have come to call that of ‘‘‘complementary oppositions’’’. Muses posed these two categories, to Seldon, as forming, in essence, a ‘‘‘radical dualism’’’. Seldon disagreed, seeing the two ‘ideo-species’ categories as constituting a dialectical opposition, or ‘categorial antithesis’, of an ‘«arché» category’ vis-a-vis its ‘first contra-category’, and recognized a third category, a ‘first uni-category’, or ‘dialectical synthesis, hybrid category’, as a «tertium quid» ‘ideo-species’ category, one that Seldon named ‘supplementary oppositions’. The partially pictorial ‘dialectogram’ image posted below, together with its text-image commentary, provide an introduction to the Seldonian concept of ‘supplementary oppositions’. For more information regarding these Seldonian insights, please see -- http://www.dialectics.org/dialectics.org/ and www.dialectics.info For partially pictographical, ‘poster-ized’ visualizations of many of these Seldonian insights -- specimens of ‘dialectical art’ -- see: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DialecticsMATH?ref=search_shop_redirect ¡ENJOY!
