The term dialectic has several meanings, and the meanings have evolved over time. The Hegelian thesis-antithesis-synthesis dialectic, which is the most recent form of dialectics, is far removed in meaning from the Socratic dialogue, which is a conversation between two people. Originally, Dialectic (also dialectics and the dialectical method) was a method of argument for resolving disagreement that has been central to European and Indian philosophy since antiquity. The word dialectic originated in ancient Greece, and was made popular by Plato in the Socratic dialogues. The dialectical method is discourse between two or more people holding different points of view about a subject, who wish to establish the truth of the matter guided by reasoned arguments.
