Why is there not a larger explicit focus on Dialectical Logic in physics and science today?
>Physicists like Bohm were hugely influenced by Hegelian and Marxist >Dialectics and this is shown in their work.
>Punctuated Equilibria and other evolutionary characteristics were predicted with dialectical logic (e.g. Labour in the transition from Ape to Man by Engels).
Complexity Theory is dialectical intrinsically also.
These are just a few examples. The world clearly works dialectically and yet it feels in the west we tend to discover this unconsciously rather than conciously applying it. Is this because of McCarthyism and all that?

Not trying to get political -- what I'm interested in is the application of dialectics to science.
