Although the origin of [[dialectic]]s goes back to the Greek [[philosophers]], its dominance in modern philosophy is due to the revival of the [[concept]] in the eighteenth century by the [[Kant|post-Kantian]] [[idealism|idealists]] [[Fichte]] and [[Hegel]], who conceived of the [[dialectic]] as a [[triad]] of [[dialectic|thesis]], [[dialectic|antithesis]] and [[dialectic|synthesis]].
For [[Hegel]], the [[dialectic]] is both a method of exposition and the [[structure]] of [[Historical Progress|historical progress ]] itself.
Thus in ''[[Phenomenology of Spirit]]'' (1807), [[Hegel]] shows how [[consciousness]] [[progress]]es towards [[dialectic|absolute knowledge]] by means of a series of confrontations between opposing elements.
