Hegel: The Best Yet?

As far as philosphers go, I am enjoying the works of Hegel.

Hegel believes that reality is a matter of a process of change and understanding objects as processes of change.

He argues, when you contemplate something, the thought is a process of change in itself. One cannot separate the act of thinking about something from the nature of that something you are thinking about.

Contemplation of things is stimulates change. When you have concluded your thought then the object in topic is believed to have then changed… there is no certainty. The only certainty is that the subject has tried to understand it; this concept is commonly known as the Geist.

Hegel philosophy is that history has a goal of freedom and no alienation in the sense of the Geist knowing itself.

Hegel shared Kantian dialectic views, with the ideas of thesis and antithesis. This theory shows that all propositions have their own negatives. For anything to occur there must be opposites i.e. the analogy could be weather, if there was no rain or sunny days then there would be no concept of weather.

No thesis can exist without an antithesis i.e. an EXISTENCE is a THESIS and NON-EXISTENCE is a ANTITHESIS, thus creating history, which is a SYNTHESIS. After this, history becomes the new thesis and then the process continues.
