Bracketing - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
While our system of thought is not specific to Hegel, he is such an interesting polymath and coined the terms, for diagraming the tool. So what are these terms?
Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis. So how is that bracketing? The diagram flow of this approach will start with a Thesis and then be challenged by the Antithesis. That is how the bracket gets started. A Thesis makes no bracket it just contains it's intrinsic quantity and quality. Analysis of the Thesis and Antithesis produces a Synthesis. Hegel taught that the winning Thesis now a Synthesis retains each and every challenge as part of the new theory because that is how you got to where you are. If the original Thesis beats the Antithesis, it is of course now stronger than before. So not keeping the history keeps the strength of the debate from advancing iteratively.

Bracketing (German: Einklammerung; also called phenomenological reduction, transcendental reduction or phenomenological epoché) is the preliminary step in the philosophical movement of phenomenology describing an act of suspending judgment about the natural world to instead focus on analysis of experience. Its earliest conception can be traced back to Immanuel Kant who argued that the only reality that one can know is the one each individual experiences in their mind (or Phenomena). Edmund Husserl, building on Kant’s ideas, first proposed bracketing in 1913, to help better understand another’s phenomena.
