Hegel is probably best known today for his teleological belief that human history tends toward progress and is guided rationally by *Geist*, or “spirit,” a quasi-supernatural force for good. He taught that this progress is slowly achieved through the operation of the “dialectic.” According to this concept, a grand conversation occurs in three parts—thesis, antithesis, and synthesis—in which one side presents an argument (thesis), another side gives an opposing viewpoint (antithesis), and all of this results in a resolution (synthesis) that involves more nuanced understanding of the issues. This rational reconciliation of differences thus leads to advances—in other words, progress.
