What is dialectic in the modern era?
Modern day dialectic is very different than dialectic of the ancient days and even of the classical times.
Today we have Facebook, Twitter, email and a myriad of other social networks all focused on what we consider to be important to share with the world in that moment but will probably not matter even five minutes later. Most of us probably don’t even remember our last update to our favorite social network.
Modern dialectic is more focused on the now, kairos being the most important thing. Our state of mind now will be different in five minutes, so the kairos changes.
I guess we’re just more ADD today than the Ancients were. Quality in dialectics is suffering for it.
