Absolute Idealism(The position under critique; associated with the claim that individual interests ultimately coincide at the level of Reality.): The metaphysical view that at the level of Reality all individual minds are united in, or participate in, a single larger mind-like whole.
Acts of cognition(what Hegel says creates the relationship between knower and known): Individual moments or processes of thinking, understanding, or gaining knowledge—basically, the mental acts that happen when your mind grasps or learns something.
Dialectical/Dialectically(describing how the knower and known relate to each other): A process where two opposing ideas or forces clash and combine to create something new; Hegel used this to explain how reality and knowledge develop through conflict and resolution rather than staying static.
Hegel(as the main philosopher referenced in this statement): Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher (1770-1831) who argued that reality and human thought develop through a process of contradiction and resolution, constantly evolving toward greater understanding.
