Dialectic (dīəlĕk`tĭk) [Gr.,= art of conversation], in philosophy, term originally applied to the method of philosophizing by means of question and answer employed by certain ancient philosophers, notably Socrates. For Plato the term came to apply more strictly to logical method and meant the reduction of what is multiple in our experience of phenomena to the unity of systematically organized concepts or ideas. Immanuel Kant gave the name "Transcendental Dialectic" (the title of one section of his Critique of Pure Reason) to his endeavor to expose the illusion of judgments that attempt to transcend the limits of experience. G. W. F. Hegel applied the term dialectic to the logical method of his philosophy, which proceeds from thesis through antithesis to synthesis. Hegel's method was appropriated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in their philosophy of dialectical materialism.

PHILOCHRONY
The becoming-time duality (B-T) is the natural expression of the dialectic in which the change (moving and activity) and permanence (extension of phenomena) are joined to generate transformations of reality or the universe. A person is always himself/herself (identity), but throughout his/her life undergoes changes that are going transforming him/her from child to old man/woman and passing for teenager and adult to death. Another example is the river. The river is always the same, but its waters are constantly renewing. In nature, also occur sporadic and periodic changes, but on the basis of a body or a phenomenon. Midnight and noon are periodic changes that occur in the movements of Earth (continuous or permanent). The eruption of a volcano is a sporadic change.
The purpose of this B-T duality is the replacement of old things for new things, constant updating, like in the river. The waters that reach the sea correspond to the past and the rains that will fall are the future.
In conclusion, the B-T duality is the dialectic itself.
