Antithesis:Alternative:Process:Repetition
According to Aristotle, a Greek philosopher and his successors like Kant:
"To each thesis there must exist an antithesis or antinemy - a proposition that every valid thought must have an idea. An idea is an antithesis (e.g. rainy day [which could be thesis]) and not rainy day ([which is a possible opposite, its negation... antithesis of "rainy day"]) - fact of the weather. ([Fact is synthesis - resulting process, a conflict that arises between thesis and antithesis. No thesis can exist without an antithesis. Existence and non-existence results in actuality... of history. So, history is synthesis of existence and non-existence... Each stage in this process, the synthesis, the cycle of dialectical change becomes a new thesis... and so the process goes.) Every idea or thought has its opposite. All valid propositions or ideas contain their own negations... Key of the dialectics... - every idea, a state of affairs, contains its own opposites."

"There are big changes in store near the mouth of the Don River. The Keating Channel - a functional but unattractive waterway - is slated for transformation. The Star's Christopher Hume says it's got great potential, providing it's done right. Video by Randy Risling." (May 15, 2010)
