Hegelian Dialectic

The Hegelian Dialectic is a philosophical framework for understanding progress and change in ideas and history. It consists of three stages: thesis (an initial idea or state), antithesis (a conflicting idea or challenge to the thesis), and synthesis (the resolution that reconciles the two, leading to a new thesis). This process suggests that history evolves through contradictions and resolutions, proposing that our understanding and society develop in a dynamic, cyclical manner where each resolution leads to further contradictions and progress. In this view, history is not linear but a complex interplay of conflicting ideas leading to growth.
