Summary/Abstract: Conflicts are the essential constituent part of the reality and opposites are their essence. However, opposites that conflict encompass form peculiar unity which makes possible to say that harmony is immanent in conflicts. That unity is alive and dialectical, which is why we characterise it as ''pulsating unity''. The main problem of the paper is the relation between conflicts and the opposites, and relation between opposites alone as harmonic struggle. We are showing that conflicts aren't something necessarily bad or destructive, but that they also have constructive role which we locate in their function of establishing peace and balance, and also in their function of being the condition of possibility of thinking and arriving to new knowledge. Apart from those considerations, in the paper we are also presenting the understanding of opposites, their unity and importance for the process of change and development of Heraclitus and Hegel.
