Hanzi’s political agenda could be enhanced if we also consider Michael Basseches cognitive developmental research based upon a dialectical critical realist meta-theory (as opposed to Michael Commons's MHC and/or Ken Wilber's Integral).

Over the last 6 months our colleagues at the Center for Applied Dialectics (CAD) have been working to construct, not only this thesis, but a methodology to demonstrate dialectical thinking through real time dialogue.

3 basic phases of the process:

🧪 Lab → we play equal parts ‘scientist’ and ‘experiment’ to produce novel social experiences which can be turned into an artifact.

🎛 Studio → we seek to receive experts options and feedback on our artifacts like an artist would from an art instructor.

🏟 Salon → we invite novice ‘outsiders’ to participate with our artifacts in public spaces.

Now we want to present our findings on Hanzi as a part of our transition from privately supporting one another as applied dialectical thinkers into more (semi) public spaces.

"I like this pattern because it enables a movement in thought from the initial question/concept to its answer through dialog. For me it fits with the notion of dialectic as the initial identification of a tension, paradox or contradiction in thought and subsequent synthesis to a new, and more complete, and more stable concept. Such achievements of stability are only momentary, because everything learned then raises a bigger question, and so we progress from lab, to studio, to salon opening up the issue to get progressively closer to reality in thought. The process is developmental for both individual and group." - Nick Shannon
