[A philosophical framework](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hegel-dialectics/) that describes the process of development and resolution of ideas through: thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. It suggests that an initial idea or condition (thesis) inevitably generates its opposite (antithesis), and the conflict between the two is resolved by a higher-level understanding or integration (synthesis). For example: * Thesis: A community believes that strict regulations are necessary to maintain order and safety. * Antithesis: Some members argue that these regulations infringe on personal freedoms and stifle creativity. * Synthesis: The community revises the regulations to allow more personal freedom while still ensuring safety, finding a balance between order and individual rights. [[Do the work to hold an opinion]] is related to this: want to show that you have the antithesis. #published 2025-03-18
