Hegel (Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel)

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher who believed that reality and history develop through a process of change driven by conflicting ideas and their resolution, called dialectics. He viewed everything—including ideas, history, and society—as interconnected and evolving toward greater understanding and freedom. Hegel emphasized that progress results from the tension and resolution of opposing forces, shaping where we are today. His work explores how consciousness and ideas grow through this dynamic process, offering a comprehensive view of how change unfolds in the world and human thought.
