They just don't call it dialectics.  Every science now recognizes the
transformation of quantity into quality -- in everything from evolution
to the potential barrier of the atomic nucleus.  The whole basis of 
the calculus is the reconciliation of contradiction:  a finite value
is an infinitely large number of infinitely small pieces.  
In a way, it's all dialectics.  

What needs to be said is that dialectics isn't a type of _logic_;
it cannot distinguish between a true proposition and a false one.
It is a heuristic.
