Question

Write a short note on dialectic.

Answer 1

1. According to Hegel, grasping the meaning of any event happens in terms of two direct opposites.
2. The human mind cannot understand the true nature of that event, without understanding the opposites, for example, True-False, Good-Bad, etc.
3. In order to understand the true nature of a thing one needs to know both true and false, similarly good and bad.
4. This method of analysis which is based on opposites is known as ‘Dialectics’.
