liberal1 said:Socrates seem to contradict himself by assuming himself wise and others not so. Already by asserting that he knows the "true path" to wisdom, he disproves himself. How can one be wise who accepts he has no wisdom?
Dialectical philosophy predates Socrates, dialectical theory can be found in the Hindu religion which predates Socrates. Also some other Greek philosophers such as Heraclitus, Pythagoreans, and the Atomists, and also some Chinese philosophers have dialectical theory well before Socrates.Joakim said:It would have been fun to read, because he was indeed the father of dialectics. Creating thesis and antithesis to eventually come up with a synthesis.
Yes it does, and it was noted that Hegel was highly idealistic, which is the way you want the world to be-not what it is. But anyways Hegel's absolutism is rather contradictory to itself, and you could notice that about every famous philosophy contradicts itself in some fashio, but his philosophy was still a considerable contrabution to philosophic thoughts, as the understanding of many areas could be better brought out.Does not the dialectic process (presented by Hegel at least) contradict itself in the end, at least so in saying that there will be some form of "absolute?"
