Method: a method is a procedure agreed on by participants of a discussion or research project. In the case of violations of a method, the comparability of the results is in particular questioned, since these no longer come from a set with uniformly defined properties of the elements.

G.W.F. Hegel on Method - Dictionary of Arguments

Gadamer I 467
Method/Hegel/Gadamer: [Hegel] has criticized the concept of a method that is performed on the thing as an action that is foreign to the thing under the concept of "external reflection": The true method is the action of the thing itself(1). For the description of the true method, which is the action of the thing itself, Hegel for his part referred to Plato, who loves to show his Socrates in conversation with young people because they are prepared to follow the logical questions of Socrates regardless of the prevailing opinions.
Negative Dialectic/Socrates/Hegel: Here, dialectic is nothing other than the art of conducting a conversation and, in particular, of exposing the inappropriateness of the opinions that dominate you through the consequence of asking and asking further. So dialectic is negative here, it confuses opinions. But such confusion also means clarification, because it reveals the appropriate view of the matter. (...) so all dialectical negativity contains a factual preliminary drawing of what is true.

and to draw conclusions on a trial basis from opposing assumptions"(2) that is the experience of thought to which Hegel's concept of method as the self-development of pure thought into the systematic whole of truth refers.
