Dialectics: The Most Misunderstood Aspect of Hegel's Philosophy

About this episode

Dr. Sebastian Ostritsch discusses the true meaning of Hegel's dialectics and critiques the common understanding of thesis, anti-thesis, and synthesis.

Send us Fan Mail Hegel is known for his dialectics of achieving a synthesis from a thesis and an anti-thesis. However, this may not be an accurate understanding of Hegel's work. Dr. Sebastian Ostritsch tells us about what Hegel really means with his dialectics and how the view of thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis would fundamentally undermine his position in science of logic.
