Now, for the other three terms which are borrowed from the philosopher Hegel, who made much of them. We will use them several times in our study.

''Thesis, antithesis, and synthesis'', are, in part, defined (in Webster) as follows: 'With Hegel (thesis is) the proposition or conception representing the first . . . stage of developing thought, contrasting with the second stage, or antithesis which negates the thesis, and with the third stage, or synthesis in which . . . thesis and antithesis are brought together."

Thesis, then, is a proposition, a statement, a presentation. Antithesis (which would be better understood if it were written "anti-thesis") is something that is different from, contrastive to, and stimulative of, the thesis -but not necessarily antagonistic to the thesis. Synthesis is the bringing together of the two into a mutually expanded and harmonious whole. This is a three-step process, and we will see it develop more than once in our study of the master universe.
