Hegel's Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis
Hegel's thought doesn't begin with a thesis. He never art philosophy can't make, you know, can't argue from thesis. And then finally, nothing ever ends in a synthesis for Hegel. Even the end of the book, absolute knowing, absolute idea. These are the two ending points of phenomenological spirit and science of logic. Those are points of the final contradiction, right? They're not points of synthesis. So this idea that, I mean, the idea most associated with him is that history moves through thesis, antithesis, synthesis, totally, totally incorrect.
