Dialectic
Hegel (Method)
The self-movement of thought through contradictions. Not a formal argumentative scheme (thesis–antithesis–synthesis), but the demonstration of how determinations turn into their opposite and must be sublated.
Origin
Plato's dialectic (dialogue). Kant's dialectic (illusory problems). Hegel's dialectic: productive contradictions as the motor of development.
