Single Idea 21978
[filed under theme 2. Reason / C. Styles of Reason / 1. Dialectic
]
Full Idea
The dialectic is often described in terms of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis - though this is not a Hegelian way of speaking. Hegel himself sometimes describes it in terms of negation and negation of the negation.
Gist of Idea
Hegel's dialectic is not thesis-antithesis-synthesis, but usually negation of negation of the negation

A Reaction
A footnote says the first form of description only occurs once in Hegel's work. I am guessing that Marx is responsible for the standard misrepresentation.
