Abstract
The concept of polarity in objects of nature, in people, and in relations between them emerged in antiquity. Chinese philosophy proceeded from the assumption of the opposition between male (yang) and female (yin) particles, of which all things consist. In the Christian religion, people's lives were regarded as a field of eternal struggle between good and evil. Natural science found polarity in the most varied domains (electricity, magnetism, etc.). But it is only in Hegel's dialectics that polarity was comprehended as the division of unity into opposites and the "struggle" between them, as a universal feature of the structure of the world and its evolution.
