Hegelian Dialectics

Hegelian Dialectics is a philosophical framework that explains how ideas and history evolve through contradictions. It involves three stages: thesis (an initial idea), antithesis (a conflicting idea), and synthesis (their resolution). This process illustrates how conflicting views can lead to progress over time, suggesting that history is guided by a purposeful development. In this context, historical determinism posits that events unfold according to a rational structure, while teleology implies history has a direction or purpose, ultimately moving toward greater freedom and self-awareness for humanity.
