Question

Who said that the process of thesis, antithesis and synthesis is the law of change?

• A. Marx
• B. Hegel
• C. Coser
• D. Dahrendorf

Hint:

Dialectical triad = Thesis–Antithesis–Synthesis → Hegel.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Define dialectics. Hegel proposed that historical and social change occurs through the dialectical process—thesis (existing state), antithesis (conflicting state), and synthesis (resolution).

Step 2: Contrast with Marx. Marx adapted Hegelian dialectics to material conditions (historical materialism), but the triad of thesis-antithesis-synthesis is Hegel’s original philosophical framework.

Step 3: Conclude. \[ \boxed{\text{Hegel (Option B) formulated the dialectical law of change.}} \]
