Mao advocated differentiation between principal and secondary contradictions and between the principal and secondary aspects of a contradiction; but more importantly, he also emphasized that each can transform into its opposite under certain conditions and attached considerable importance to the ＂quintessence＂ of a contradiction, ideas which are alien to traditional Western dialectics. This makes Mao＇s dialectics distinctive, so that it constitutes a model of the integration （not without tension） of Chinese and Western patterns of thinking. A deeper understanding of this model will be of great benefit to the revival and development of contemporary Chinese philosophy.展开更多
