Philosophical grounding

I think the opening reference to Hegel is pretentious and probably inaccurate. The Linstone and Turoff book (Chapter 2a, Chapter 2b) references Hegel among other philosophers, but identifies Locke, E A Singer and C. West Churchman as more significant figures. Has anyone got a source for a specifically Hegelian account of Delphi, or is this "original research". --RichardVeryard 16:28, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the dialectic process of thesis, antithesis and synthesis is Hegelian, so he does deserve to be mentioned - if the process actually is that important in Delphi method, which I my opinion is a statement that should indeed be referenced to somewhere. -- Flambergius
