    Your comment makes no mention of synthesis/antithesis. You also said “Absolute” instead of “Geist”. Ergo, I assume, prima facie, given my extensive philosophical study through memes, that your position is extremely misguided. Es tut mir lied!

      Don’t get me started. The thesis, antithesis, synthesis is Hegelian only in the sense that Marx was a leftist Hegelian. For that historical dialectical movement is actually a Marxists’ material reinterpretation of Hegel’s teleology of the Absolute.

      Yes, you could argue that Marx is simply Hegel under a different guise, and that thesis, antithesis, synthesis is just an explicit reformulation of Hegel’s ontological dialectics. But then you might as well say that the whole western contemporary philosophical tradition is in some sense Hegelian as every known philosopher since has been trying to overcome Hegel. Which, in some sense, is true.

      In any case, this will only prove the Hegelian fanboy point: aufhebung, bitches!
