Some scholars argue that contradictions play a fundamental role in the sustainability and continuity of the world, with dialectics being one of the most prominent manifestations of these contradictions. Broadly, dialectics refers to the exchange of reasoning in a two-way dialogue or a specific method of argumentation. This concept, rooted in ancient Greek philosophy, has been examined through the perspectives of four eminent philosophers: Socrates, Plato, Kant, and Hegel. This study seeks to explore the philosophical evolution of dialectics as understood by these philosophers and examine its applications in art and architecture. The dialectical relationship between built environments and social contexts offers critical insights. Beyond its philosophical origins, dialectics is deeply embedded in art and architecture, serving as a foundational element of creativity. Understanding the philosophical roots of dialectics allows us to comprehend its influence on art and architecture and recognize it as a catalyst for innovation and creativity. One of the most notable applications of dialectics in architecture is the interplay between interior and exterior spaces. This concept, derived from the dialectical theories of past philosophers, manifests in varying degrees of introversion and extroversion in architectural design. Additionally, dialectics of space and time and urban dialectics also contribute significantly to architectural discourse. Ultimately, this research demonstrates that understanding the philosophical underpinnings of dialectics enhances our architectural comprehension. It unveils a continuous dialogue between form and function, interior and exterior, space and time, and other architectural elements. Consequently, dialectics in architecture functions not only as a theoretical tool but also as a methodology for analyzing and creating meaningful spaces.
