Marx and dialectical philosophers are interested in assessing and explaining the reciprocal relationships and causality among social phenomena in the past, present, and future. They focus on the historical development of social relations and the contradictions that arise from them, which can lead to new forms of social organization in the future. Marx does not consider alternative realities as they are not empirical and cannot be observed or studied.
