Dialectic - Wikipedia
1 week ago - Dialectic resembles debate, but the concept excludes subjective elements such as emotional appeal and rhetoric; the object is more an eventual and commonly held truth than the "winning" of an (often binary) competition. It has its origins in ancient philosophy and continued to be developed in the Middle Ages. Hegelianism refigured "dialectic" to no longer refer to a literal dialogue.

A stab at a legit ELI5: ‘Hegel’s “dialectic” is a way of describing what it means to think about or do anything at all. It can be hard to understand, because its such a big idea. Sometimes its good to tackle big ideas like that with an example. Here’s how it works. Let’s imagine you have a friend. You want to be the best friend you can. You are totally, 10,000% into being their friend. So you do all the stuff you think a friend should do. You say hi to them whenever you see them, you give them big hugs, you give them presents, you tell them how nice they are. And you do this all the time. You even hog your friend, and don’t want them to play with other people! You pour yourself into it, completely [Entäußerrung] Eventually your friend doesn’t want to be around you because they feel like you don’t give them any room to be themselves. You tried hard to be the best friend you could be, but you ended up being the opposite of a good friend. You did the best you could, and you ended up with the opposite of what you wanted. What would you do? Would you decide to start picking on your friend and calling them names? No that would be silly. You wouldn’t say “everything I ever thought about being a good friend was TOTALLY wrong.” You would see that what you were doing was partially right. But it was just one little piece of the “Big Picture” of what being a good friend is all about—which includes lots of other stuff like respecting your friend’s space, and letting them be themselves. So now, you have a bigger, better understanding of what it means to be a good friend. [Aufhebung] Hegel thinks everything we can do and everything we can think is like this. There’s no getting around it. And it can be painful! [Verzweiflung, Zerissenheit, Opfer] But that is how we learn who and what wr are and can be—in fact it is how people have always learned, all throughout history (even when they didn’t quite realize it!) [The cunning of reason]’ [Edit: a couple words]

The simplest way I can summarize it: in order for change to take place something old must give way. The old and the new aren't two separate moments in opposition but rather one whole movement in constant unending development. There is a thing, that thing slowly decays, something new emerges. The decay (negation) of the first thing was a necessary step (literally the 'condition of possibility') for the new thing. From the second paragraph of the preface to the phenomenology: "The bud disappears when the blossom breaks through, and we might say that the former is refuted by the latter; in the same way when the fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant’s existence, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom. These stages are not merely differentiated; they supplant one another as being incompatible with one another. But the ceaseless activity of their own inherent nature makes them at the same time moments of an organic unity, where they not merely do not contradict one another, but where one is as necessary as the other; and this equal necessity of all moments constitutes alone and thereby the life of the whole."

June 3, 2016 - Inoue Kazumi also argues that dialectical contradiction in the Hegelian sense does not violate the law of non-contradiction (Inoue 2014: 121–123), and he rejects Popper’s claim that Hegel’s dialectical method is incompatible with good science.

Hegel’s Dialectic: Translated from the German by Peter Kirschemann | Springer Nature Link
This book was written in 1968, and defended as a doctoral dissertation before the Philosophical Faculty at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) in 1969. It treats of the systematic views of Hegel which led him to give to the princi ple of non-contradiction, the principle of double negation, and the principle of excluded middle, meanings which are difficult to understand.

April 23, 2008 - He rejected the Bible and proposed that man is on an evolutionary journey and that human history is the record of a process of conflict and synthesis that he referred to as the dialectical process of Spirit, believing that man would eventually reach his highest state, ultimately arriving at “the Absolute Idea” which would be so perfect it could not be challenged or synthesized. The Hegelian system is described as follows: “It was Hegel’s view that all things unfold in a continuing evolutionary process whereby each idea or quality (the THESIS) inevitably brings forth its opposite (the ANTITHESIS).

March 31, 2018 - One of the most infamous concepts in philosophy is the Hegelian dialectic. It is named after the most famous philosopher from a movement called “German Idealism”, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel(1770-1831). It can be argued that the concept was introduced by another philosopher of the same movement Johann Gottlieb Fichte(1762-1814) but they both had a different interpretation of what it means.

A (thesis) versus B (anti-thesis) equals C (synthesis). For example: If (A) my idea of freedom conflicts with (B) your idea of freedom then (C) neither of us can be free until everyone agrees to be a slave. The Soviet Union was based on the Hegelian dialectic, as is all Marxist writing.

1 month ago - It did not and could not account for industrial capitalism, the capacity of modern states to sustain themselves through manufactured surplus rather than land revenue alone, financialisation as a force capable of decoupling wealth from production entirely, or for the nation-state as a form of political organisation that derives legitimacy not from dynastic asabiyyah but from popular sovereignty and bureaucratic rationality. The Bedouin-sedentary dialectic, so powerful in explaining the political dynamics of the medieval Maghrib, has no obvious purchase on the rise of East Asian developmental states or the internal logic of European welfare capitalism.

October 2, 2021 - The way G.W.F. Hegel constructed his philosophy of history was through this process called “the dialectic.” The dialectic works like this: In all the different areas of human experience that we have—such as art, philosophy, theology, music, economics, physics, astronomy, whatever—we find a process taking place that involves tensions that are overcome on the plane of history.

The method is prevalent in almost all his works, most notably Logic, Philosophy of History, and Phenomenology of Spirit. He describes it as “the only true method” and the basic principle of all his theories.
