Hegelians

Hegelians are followers of the philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who emphasized that reality and history progress through a dialectical process of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. They believe that ideas, societies, and history develop through this dynamic, interconnected process, where conflicting forces or ideas evolve into higher, more comprehensive stages. Hegelians often focus on understanding the development of consciousness, history, and knowledge as part of this unfolding through contradictions and resolutions, aiming to see how complexity and progress emerge from these ongoing struggles.
