Problem
Briefly explain the idea and practice of Hegelian dialectic and its relationship to Nineteenth-Century thought. How is it related to ideas and events like naturalism and industrialization? Similarly, consider ideas like natural law theory and the theory of evolution. You should also consider the ideas and practices of capitalism and communism as well. In the process of your response, consider the three different types of history that Hegel outlines. How are these ideas apparent in Thomas Coles' "Course of Empire " paintings?
