dialectical
英 [ˌdaɪə'lektɪkl] 美 [ˌdaɪə'lektɪkl]
adj.辩证的；方言的
◉Etymology
“Dialectical”源自希腊语“dialektikos”，意为“对话的”或“辩论的”，由“dia-”（通过、跨越）和“legein”（说话）构成，与“dialogue”（对话）同根。这个词最初与古希腊哲学家苏格拉底的“辩证法”相关，指通过问答揭示真理的方法。到中世纪，拉丁语“dialecticus”将其引入学术领域，后于17世纪进入英语。在黑格尔和马克思的哲学中，“dialectical”进一步发展为描述矛盾、对立与转化的过程，成为现代辩证法的核心术语。

◉Usage Examples
Dialectical describes how someone goes about finding the truth. If you're an investigative journalist, you probably use dialectical reasoning.
You might think dialectical refers to how people speak in a certain region or in a specific group, such as a regional accent. That version of dialect comes from the Greek word dialektos, meaning "discourse, way of speaking." But dialectical instead comes from the French word dialecte, meaning "denoting the art of investigating the truth of opinions." It has to do with a method of reasoning used to determine the truth.
