Dialectical History

Dialectical history is an approach that views historical progress as a dynamic process shaped by conflicts and contradictions. It suggests that societal change occurs through the interplay of opposing forces—like ideas, social classes, or cultural movements—leading to a synthesis that transforms society. This method, often associated with philosophers like Hegel and Marx, emphasizes that history is not linear but cyclical and influenced by struggles. In essence, it posits that progress emerges from the resolution of tensions, resulting in new ideas and systems that redefine our understanding and experience of the world.
