"Real is Rational. Rational is Real" This great quote comes from the great German Idealist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. He was one of the most influential German philosophers who is read widely even in our contemporary times. In the above quote we clearly understand his philosophy. Here we understand his concept of reality. Like Plato, Hegel too believes that idea is real, in turn, real is rational. Thus whatever can be understood by the use of reason is real. He also says that 'Idea as real reality' can be understood only by application of reason. Anything understood by empirical evidence is not real, rather shadow of real. Hegel is a 'Rationalist', who believes that human emancipation can be realised only by reason. Hegel has used the concept of 'Dialectics' to show the nature of movement of History. History for Hegel is a movement of 'Absolute Idea'. He has given the three laws of Dialectics: 1. Unity of opposites: It means in all the things exists its contradiction. Contradiction is a force of history. 2. Negation of Negation: As per law of history, force negativity gets negated. 3. Quantity changes into Quality: Changes do not happen overnight, first, quantitative changes take place and it gives rise to qualitative change. It may appear new but it is not entirely new. New has its roots in the old. Once contradiction ends, history ends.
