Detailed explanation-1: -dialectical materialism, a philosophical approach to reality derived from the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels . For Marx and Engels, materialism meant that the material world, perceptible to the senses, has objective reality independent of mind or spirit.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dialectical materialism was born in 1857, when Marx returned to studying Hegel. In opposition to Hegel, Marx adopted a realist epistemology. Abandoning the pragmatist ambiguities of his Economic-Philosophical Manuscripts, he became a materialist in the traditional sense of that word.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dialectical Materialism is a way of understanding reality; whether thoughts, emotions, or the material world. Simply stated, this methodology is the combination of Dialectics and Materialism. The materialist dialectic is the theoretical foundation of Marxism (while being communist is the practice of Marxism).
Detailed explanation-4: -When people look at the world through the lens of dialectical materialism they can see the logical development of beliefs and thoughts, actions and events, and even human history as a whole. Historical materialism extends the principles of dialectical materialism to the study of society and its history.
Detailed explanation-5: -Historical materialism states that the material conditions of the mode of production determines its organisation and more importantly its development i.e. how goods are made influences society, and how society changes over time.
