Hegelian Dialectics and Historicity

Hegelian Dialectics is a philosophical approach that explains progress through a three-step process: thesis (an idea), antithesis (a conflicting idea), and synthesis (a resolution that combines elements of both). This dynamic interplay drives change in ideas and history. Historicity refers to how historical events and contexts shape understanding and interpretation. In historiography, it emphasizes that our views of history are influenced by the time and culture in which we live, acknowledging that history is not just a series of facts but is interpreted differently depending on the perspective of the historian and society.
