Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel proposed that truth is reached by a continuing dialectic, in which a concept (thesis) always gives rise to its opposite (antithesis), and the interaction between these two leads to the creation of a new concept (synthesis). Hegel employed this dialectical method in such works as Phenomenology of the Mind (1807) to explain history and the evolution of ideas. | ||||||
