    Croce also opposed Hegel’s methodical dialecticalization of distinct aspects of reality, individual facts and empirical concepts,¹⁹⁰ not because of the quaint biases it revealed but because Croce was not a universalist like Hegel, only a partial universalist, lacking also the macro-microcosmos motif; and Croce could not support Hegel’s Naturphilosophie and triadic monism because he believed in a spiritualized dualism.¹⁹¹

    Even the “dialecticalization of all categories” that Brecht spoke of, the signet of the modern age, would not eliminate sense and meaning, but only emphasize their ambivalence, since it completely retains the binary structure.

    […] presupposes, on the one hand, the conscious aspiration to more profound “dialecticalization” of historical materialism, i.e., to a more profound philosophical grasping of the formational logic of history from the standpoint of the contemporary level of the development of the theory of dialectics.

    What ought to be surprising, rather, is that the opposition should have been made at all and that it should be maintained apart from its own dialecticalization, like a concession made on the side, through on a major point, to the understanding. […] A prescription like Equivocate (or: Dialecticalize) every phrase, including the present one signifies that the operators of equivocacy and of dialectics must be applied to the prescription itself. To state it otherwise, in philosophical discourse, every phrase that presents itself as the rule of this discourse must be submitted to equivocation and dialecticalization and be put back into play. This self-mocking prescription corresponds to scepticism.

    I have said enough to indicate the points where Elias’s analyses lend themselves to a dialecticalization of the described processes that he describes in a unilinear fashion from the top to the bottom of the scale.⁵⁴ Below, we shall examine in what way the theme of appropriation may balance that of constraint.

    Enzensberger is therefore always, in his “dialecticalization” of communication so strangely proximate to cybernetic regulation, a victim, though in a more subtle way, of the ideological model we are discussing.

    As a general approach, initially Ricoeur makes a careful methodological division into distinctive levels, which may recognized as a preparatory phase to his “dialecticalizations” with the purpose of dissolving false conflicts and avoiding impasses.³⁷ […] ⁴³ The background to these constant “dialecticalizations” is not only the reality of coping with the multiple philosophical worlds and disciplines involved in his reflection, but also the biographical reality of a life filled with tensions, starting with the “inner conflict” between the inspiration from Bergson and Barth in his youth and then continuing throughout his life and work: the tension between German and French sources, Jaspers and Marcel, Continental and Analytical philosophy, phenomenology and structuralism (and later neuro-biology).

    They have forgotten or repressed Determination-in-the-Last-Instance, they have not elucidated it but they have attempted to make it a reciprocal and unitary determination either through a linear mechanism, or by dialecticalization and super-dialecticalization, or even by structural overdetermination.

    The key point from the emergent experiences and evidence represented in the case examined here is that the situated description and retroduction processes appear to allow a historicized process of dialecticalization with boundary crossing that restores reason and identity, unlocking casual dimensions for a better explanatory grasp of the complex environment and sustainability challenges of the day.
