In this seventy-fourth video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, we continue our study of the second portion of the section "Self-Consciousness", i.e. "Lordship and Bondage", or the "Master-Slave Dialectic". I read and comment on paragraphs 185-187 of the text here.

The duplication or reciprocal attitude and action of self-consciousness does not at first result in a two-sided recognition of one self-consciousness by the other, and vice versa. Instead, both confront each other, as another, living individual. And each seeks in the other the certainty, or rather the truth of its own self-certainty, it has now lost and wants to regain.

In confronting the other self-consciousness, each self-consciousness shows that its being is not reducible to its mere life, that it is willing to risk its own life and to threaten the life of the other -- and realizes that the other is doing precisely the same as well. This brings the self-consciousnesses into a struggle to the death, in which each is not only seeking the death of the other, but the meaning of his or her own existence.

In this video series, I will be working through the entire Phenomenology, paragraph by paragraph -- for each one, first reading the paragraph, and then commenting on what Hegel is doing, referencing, discussing, etc. in that paragraph.

This series is designed to provide an innovative digital resource that will assist students, lifelong learners, professionals, and even other philosophers in studying this classic work by Hegel for generations to come.

I'll be using and referencing the A.V. Miller English-language translation of the Phenomenology, which is available here: http://amzn.to/1jDUI6w

The introductory music for the video is Georg Philipp Telemann, Trio Sonata for Flutes and Piano, in A minor - III. Affettuoso, is available in the public domain, and can be found at musopen.org at: https://musopen.org/music/532/georg-p...
