While browsing a new search engine I found a negative take on Hegelian dialectic aimed mainly at Marxist theory.One description of Hegelian dialectic was=if my idea of freedom [thesis] conflicts with your idea of freedom [antithesis] the synthesis is we should all be slaves-Ridiculous and outmoded that this is shouldn't we spend some more time on discussions defining Hegelian dialectics and speculative thinking? or is this beneath the pale.
