The Antagonism Between Reflection and Intuition
All multicellular organisms possess intuition, a faculty also called recognition because it acts upon information translated by the senses and given by the world, whose primary characteristic is it doesn’t give its possessors an awareness of themselves as the subject and object of knowledge, but how this facet is acknowledged is through reflection, what is commonly called “reason,” although this misnomer is an error of reflection itself, for reflection, developed by humans out of boredom with communal prosperity, is that which forms concepts out of reality and systematizes them into a theory to maximize profits because it creates the antagonism between theory and reality that apparently violates the conservation of mass and energy, an antagonism consisting of the contradictions between the totality, represented by intuition, and the isolated parts, represented by reflection, existing as the germ of capitalism as the types of labour are inadvertantly given an equivalency as units of labour-time through trading a certain quantity of a certain product with another quantity of another peoduct, leading eventually to the money-form as the universal relative-form of all commodities except the commodity that bears the money-form and thus to labourers becoming wage-labourers, another type of commodity, who mistakenly think their products are commodities and the commodities, money, the wages, given to them their products when, in reality, their products have become circulating capital and their wages are fixed capital, but while reflection has led to such a grotesque social structure that produces and reproduces itself anew to fit itself closer to the theories about itself, it has its advantages in science in that it isolates the individual parts of the world totality to derive laws upon which society may be the beneficiary of through the creation of new technologies based upon scientific theories, so it is to be conceded reflection, regardless of its child called capitalism, needs a limit rather than an abolition; and that limit is the Scientific Method mustn’t touch social reality and instead lend it to the Dialectical Method, whose principle of understanding the parts of the totality through the totality had been helpful in uncovering the contradictions of capitalism with reality in Karl Marx’s Das Kapital through understanding that, while reality can alter theory, theory can alter reality, abolishing the duality of thought and being by deducing they are an organic unity, a two-way causality, although the Dialectical Method is a result of theory altering reality, but the origin of this method is in intuition, the faculty of recognition and action, for intuition recognizes reality and acts upon it as if it was theory, so the Dialectical Method can then be seen as intuition gaining consciousness of itself through its archnemesis reflection to abolish reflection and lose consciousness of itself, the Dialectical Method as a form of appearance of intuition; as capitalism taking away humanity from the proletariat and culminating in the proletariat becoming most conscious of itself and wanting to abolish self-consciousness and the inhuman conditions that gave rise to class consciousness, the class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat; as self-consciousness increasing, decreasing humanity, till humanity is regained through a revolution, the cycle of nature as a part of history.
Reflection strengthens intuition upto its exile from social reality.
