A Hermeneutical Dialectic

The study of the Invental necessarily proceeds by means of a hermeneutical dialectic. This dialectic, rather than attempting to sublate apparent contradictions, maintains them in their contradiction and utilizes the idea of a constantly self-modifying ideology to hermeneutically approach them. In this manner not only are the contradictions maintained but may be pushed further apart to discover their difference in a more profound manner.

One facet of the hermeneutic is to discover the difference between apparent contradictions. One of the basic questions is not how to sublate Identity and Difference, but to ask "what is the difference between Identity and Difference?", in that they are interdependent contradictions. In this case the difference is known in English by name of the Same.

The ability of the Self, as society, to hold and maintain both sides of the dialectic is the key to the Invental Subject's ability to come to a decision at all in a given situation, in response to a given Event.
