Hegelian dialectic

Hegelian dialectic is a philosophical method for understanding change and development through the interaction of opposing forces. It’s a logical approach to conflict resolution through cause and effect.

In Hegelian dialectic, a thesis (an initial idea or condition) is countered by its opposite, known as the antithesis. Philosophers then take the merits of both the thesis and antithesis into account, creating a new thesis called the synthesis.

Hegel’s dialectic describes changes in the forms of thought through their own internal contradictions into concrete forms that overcome previous oppositions.

Georg Wilhelm Hegel (1770-1831) was a liberal German philosopher who led the German Idealist movement. He denied that there is such a thing as absolute truth.
