You don't need to be sexually ungratified to see that the union of male and female in the form a child is an example of synthesis. That would be a "duh."
But why would you commit to refuting Hegel before diving into it? Just a thought: Hegel reflected the times he lived in, as all people do. As a young man, his heart was broken by discovering the truth about Napoleon. Just like Beethoven and apparently much of the youth of Europe.
So he was human. What you can't deny is that his mind was huge, and for bothering to write down his thoughts, I thank him.
