Adopting a descriptive-analytical approach, this paper refers to the concept of opposites in Hegelian thought. Opposites have transformed Hegel’s philosophy into a fruitful contemplation for audiences, to the extent that this dimension can be considered the most captivating aspect of his thinking. Opposites progress through their dialectical course based on a triad. Therefore, in the first step, by examining the dialectical method and the process of transformation of opposites, an attempt has been made to present Hegel’s viewpoint on opposites and the manner of their unification. In the next step, opposites are examined from Molavi’s perspective. In Molavi’s thought, significant attention is also paid to this subject. In his thinking, opposites have entirely different fates in the world of Sovereignty (Jabarut) and the material world, such that in the material world, they have diverse functions and ultimately follow the path of incorporeality, whereas Hegel’s thought is far removed from such concepts, as he only focuses on opposites in the material world. Hegel has borrowed heavily from Molavi in his discussion of opposites.
