Jul 5, 2018 at 11:17 comment added Philip Klöcking @YechiamWeiss: Well, he kind of used a triad format still, since he was time and again using the move of sublating the difference/opposition of particular and general into the general being represented in the particular, right into his later writings like his philosophy of rights. But this is not the formal triad thesis-antithesis-synthesis. The point here is that he sublated the opposition formal - material by showing the formal as being realised in the material and "coming to itself". This is very different from the formal triad of logic. Hegel's dialectics thus were material, in a sense.

Jul 3, 2018 at 17:00 comment added Yechiam Weiss I had no idea Hegel didn't use the triad format, that's fascinating. Although quite understandable, as he grew to dislike Kant and Fichte's philosophies, probably so much he apparently didn't even want to use their words. Come to think about it, I don't recall seeing Schelling using the triad also, so maybe it wasn't so popular in the Post-Kantian German Idealism as it is often assumed.
