Serial dialectic' is a 'law' of progression and organization, a general process of growth common to matter and spirit, to man and society. An antinomic dialectic, it unfolds as a chain of antinomic pairs whose opposition is the source of all movement and cannot be resolved into synthesis. Such a dialectic of tension, or of the 'balancing of opposites', is thus fundamentally opposed to the Marxian dialectic of synthesis. To struggle to be, to unite to be, are the two poles of the vital dialectic of every person and every society. Work is the condition for survival, the constituent 'organic law', the 'generative fact', the 'shaping force' of soeiety.
All labour implies at the same time differentiation and association.
In working society orte does not find 'workers' but a single worker diversified to infinity. The 'fundamental' law of labour is the law of division. To organize labour is to demarcate functions, and then'to group them according to the laws of labour. Labour is the real measure of exchange value, the only standard by which different products can be compared. The substance common to wages, investments, capital and profits is that they are either objectified labour or accumulated labour.
