تأملی بر مفهوم دیالکتیک در فلسفۀ افلاطون و هگل

Abstract

Plato defined the term dialectics in his own unique way, with the aim of achieving true and comprehensive knowledge. According to him, through rational thinking and accompanied by love, the human soul must be guided towards the understanding of universals, which are the truths of the world. From Hegel’s perspective, dialectics is the reconciliation and synthesis of contradictions and oppositions within the existence of objects, mind, and nature. This study was conducted using a Analytical Review method. The study aims to achieve various objectives, including understanding the meanings of dialectics and its applications in philosophical thought. The goal of this study is to explore how dialectics is applied both as a method and as a philosophy. The findings of this research indicated that in Plato's philosophy, dialectics is considered a methodology, an art of philosophical questioning and answering. The significance of this research lies in its demonstration of the central role of dialectics and the methods and ways to achieve an understanding of the nature and essence of phenomena.
