Global Issues News Headlines - 13 hours ago
PEMBA, Zambia, Jul 26 (IPS) - Jennifer Handondo, a small scale farmer of Choma district in southern Zambia, plants food crops such as maize mostly for her family's needs.

Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis
Portrait of HegelThe famous triad “thesis, antithesis, and synthesis” is generally attributed to Hegel—it is called the Hegelian triad. But Hegel never employed this triad in his works. Some commentators have attributed the Hegelian triad to Johann Fichte, but they don’t point out the exact work where Fichte has deployed it. It is possible that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels developed the Hegelian triad through their own understanding of the philosophy of Hegel and Fichte. They have used it in their materialistic conception of history. In his 1847 work *The Poverty of Philosophy*,... more »
