Hegel's 1807 Phenomenology of Spirit is renowned for being one of
the most challenging and important books in Western philosophy.
Above all, it is famous for laying out a new approach to reasoning
and philosophical argument, an approach that has been credited with
influencing Karl Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre, and many other key modern
philosophers. That approach is the so-called "Hegelian dialectic" -
an open-ended sequence of reasoning and argument in which
contradictory concepts generate and are incorporated into a third,
more sophisticated concept. While the Phenomenology does not always
clearly use this dialectical method - and it is famously one of the
most difficult works of philosophy ever written - the Hegelian
dialectic provides a perfect template for critical thinking
reasoning skills. A hallmark of good reasoning in the construction
of an argument, and the searching out of answers must necessarily
consider contradictory viewpoints or evidence. For Hegel,
contradiction is key: it is precisely what allows reasoning to
progress. Only by incorporating and overcoming contradictions,
according to his method, is it possible for thought to progress at
all. While writing like Hegel might not be advisable, thinking like
him can help take your reasoning to the next level.
