Word that means to make opposites agree?

I’m looking for a single word that means making two (or more) seemingly opposite or contradictory words/ideas/concepts agree with each other. How do we work together?

I’m 81% the word starts with a C., but I can’t think of it. This word would be in any thesis name and would be quite formal.

An example would be, “On the ___ of idea x and idea y”.

3 (in Hegelian philosophy) the last stage in the process of dialectical reasoning, in which a new idea resolves the conflict between thesis and antithesis. 2
