Thomas Wolfe is a prominent American writer whose main concern is the treatment of death from a philosophical perspective in order to find the true meaning of life. He deals with it as attached to time flux which are based on his personal experiences and his insight as a novelist. The inclusion of his drear experience represented by death events in his novel Look homeward, Angel to convey speculative as well as realistic themes is his major intention. He wields the Hegelian dialectics of life/death and time/fixity to view death as an inestimable part of life. He defines the thing's opposite in order to recognize its deep interpretation. The main aim of the present paper is to examine Wolfe's use of the Hegelian dialectic in Look Homeward, Angel and how he renders his thought about death as a novelist. One of the fruitful conclusions is that the significance of the Hegelian dialectic in this novel appears when he reveals his optimistic outlook of life and replenishing its spiritual value in the mind and soul of man. Through narrating the many death events in a dark, uncertain atmosphere which represents the thesis, his desire for life and survival represents the anti-thesis. As a result, the optimistic outlook of life represents the synthesis as resolved in the appearance of Ben's ghost which reveals Wolfe's interpretation of the true meaning of life as a major theme in Look Homeward, Angel.
