Dialectics

Although all three titles that make up this volume are also available separately, they gain more from being together, as in the case of 'The Father Omega Sextet' (where they share chronological space with three other - and prior - texts). One could regard this as the cheaper and more concise option, and, to be sure, dialectics will never be the same again, having come quite some way from Marx and other prior practitioners of the dialectical art. But it has also undergone more thematic revision than the alternative options, bringing it closer to the author's later works in its treatment of certain relationships, like that between crime and evil on the one hand, and punishment and goodness on the other, so it is, in a sense, a more advanced rendition of the same material..
