Why do people refer to hegelian dialectic as a triad when he

>>9889818

Because not even his closest students understood shit of what he said, and he's probably the only one who will ever truly know what his own thoughts were. Can't Zeit the Geist bro

Because it's implicitly woven into the idea of progress which is found throughout his work

Pure antagonism would not even allow us to reach the more developed parts of our own consciousness, let alone enact historical movements

>>9889818

Because retards read his Wikipedia page and think Hegel proposed the Fichtean T-A-S triad instead of negation / negation of negation.

>>9889818
They're just misrespresenting history by saying that the duality implied by the hegelian dialectic points to a third, conclusive term proceeding from it.

>>9889847

this. and even a topical understanding of hegel would show that his encyclopedia, the only full expression of his system, consisted of a triad

>>9889818
Because he tells you he thinks triads are nice and well suited right in the Science of Logic's final chapter on method. He then goes ahead and tells you it would work just as well as diads and tetrads.

The third is only the explicit acknowledgement of the total unity of two.

>>9889818
I don't get why you made this thread. Are you actually implying that the whole point of Hegel isn't progressing through to the third stage?

>>9889847
but the wikipedia page explicitly goes against that...
