Thesis
:''This article is about the thesis in dialectics and academia. For the 1996 Spanish film Thesis, see Thesis (film). A thesis (literally: position from the Greek θέσις) is an intellectual proposition. In dialectics, its combination with an antithesis produces a synthesis. An academic thesis is a treatise written upon either a student's original research or a review of literature produced by others upon a topic. Either one is typically written to fulfill requirements for a higher degree, though usually the term refers to a graduate degree. At some universities, the doctoral thesis is officially called dissertation.
