State your argument and present evidence for your position. Be sure to provide convincing and well-documented references for your proposition. This is called the thesis.
Argue against the stated thesis. Be sure to provide an equally convincing proposition with evidence. This is called the antithesis.
Now that you have provided a thesis and its antithesis, develop a synthesis of the two positions. This new proposition is called the first negation.
Next develop an argument against the synthesis. This is known as the second negation. This technique of double negation results in the synthesizing of disparate positions resulting in a thorough development of ideas.
