Synthesis

There is a practice in philosophical thought which tends to bridge disparate theories or methods, so as to avoid provoking them, and to attempt to include both parties in the discussion. The bridge accomplishes this by containing both sides within it. This can also be referred to as a synthesis in Hegelian terms, which eventually hardens into a thesis, provoking an antithesis. The two crash until their polarities lessen and they are able to consummate.
