Neither am I, but I do think the giant leap forward was the
measurement of empirical variables in controlled situations and the
use of the calculus to model the underlying mechanisms of change. A
differential equation is a highly compressed statement about lawful
relations between surface phenomena. It is a causal statement par
excellence.
Both Hegel and Marx studied the calculus.
