39
Q

antithesis

A

בדיוק הפוך
An antithesis is the complete opposite of something.
(The antithesis is simply the negation of the thesis, a reaction to the proposition)

The noun antithesis comes from a Greek root meaning “opposition” and “set against.” It’s often used today when describing two ideas or terms that are placed in strong contrast to each other. We might come across antithesis in school if we learn about the “Hegelian dialectic.” There, the thesis, or main idea put forward in an argument, is countered with its opposite idea — the antithesis — and the two are finally reconciled in a third proposition, the synthesis. An antithesis wouldn’t exist without a thesis because it works as a comparison.

“It’s just the antithesis of democracy” ״the antithesis between occult and rational mentalities״

40
Q

‏ synthesis

A

The synthesis solves the conflict between the thesis and antithesis by reconciling their common truths, and forming a new proposition
