![]() We are constantly changing goal posts and competing for dominance. ![]() What is true today may not be true tomorrow whatever we see as “true” at a given moment is not objectively so but rather represents the victory of a particular will and opinion against the others working within us. The main focus of the this book can be formulated as a reflection to the question "WHAT HAS BEEN THE EFFECT ON SOCIETY FOR 200 YEARS OF HEGELIAN DIALECTIC SINCE ANCIENT TO MEDERN TIMES?"Įverything is always changing-our ideas, wills, and opinions. According to him, conflicts appear at the level of the civil society where parochial aims are pursued nevertheless, they are superseded and reconciled rationally at the level of the State where disagreements are solved by rational communication, a process better understood from dialectic perspective of thesis, antithesis, synthesis. In his lectures before the publication of his work "Philosophy of Right", Hegel discusses the principle of opposition and in the book "Philosophy of Right" he conceived the State basically in terms of unity. In the second section, I have picked democratization process to advance an analysis of Hegelian dialectic as a common because of some of Hegel's work faintly pointing to democratic concept as a system of State governance. As an attempt to cover at length the historical dimension of the Hegelian theory of dialectics, it became necessary to be selective on what and whose views to take into account from the existing pool of philosophers of his time such as John Locke, Jacques Rousseau, George Bryon, John Dewey and William James, as well as other Idealists, empiricists, utilitarians and pragmatists. To attempt this project of going through the history of philosophy, in the first section of the book I systematically formulated a way to go through historical development of Hegelian dialectic principle in relation to the times it has helped to form. I am of the opinion that an understanding of Hegelian dialectic will shed more light into the history of philosophy. Therefore, without insight into the philosophy of earlier centuries, the intellectual atmosphere of the twenty first century can hardly be understood. According to Russel, the conflicts of different philosophies continue to evolve in the thoughts of the first century. the reaction to the reforms evolved to modern philosophy. An examination of the history of philosophy will show that the great age of scholastic philosophy was an outcome of the reforms of the eleventh century.
