A key argument against dialectics is that it presupposes a teleological progression toward a “higher truth,” which may not exist. This assumption risks imposing a false sense of order and inevitability on complex, often chaotic, realities. Additionally, the synthesis of opposing ideas can oversimplify conflicts, ignoring irreconcilable differences or power imbalances. Dialectics may also prioritize abstract reasoning over empirical evidence, potentially leading to speculative conclusions rather than grounded truths. In short, it risks being reductive and idealistic, masking the messy, nonlinear nature of reality.
