Explain the ‘dialectics’ theory of Hegel.
Points: • ** Philosopher George, Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel insisted that historical reality should be presented in logical manner.
• According to Hegel, grasp in meaning of any event happens in terms of two direct opposites.
• Human mind cannot understand the true nature of that event, without understanding the opposites, for example, True-False, Good-Bad etc.
• In order to understand the true nature of a thing, one needs to know both true or false, similarly good or bad.
• In dialectics, a theory is proposed at the beginning which is called as Thesis. Then another theory is proposed which is contrary to the thesis. It is called as ‘Antithesis’.
• After a through logical discussion of both a new thesis is proposed which includes the gist of both the thesis and antithesis.
