In this seventy-second video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, we begin 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 178-181 of the text here.
Hegel now follows out the development of self-consciousness as it necessarily encounters and exists in relation to another self-consciousness. Each self-consciousness seeks Recognition from the other self-consciousness. The Notion of Recognition seems simple enough from the start, but as we will see involves a complex dynamic that must develop.
An interplay of perspective occurs between seeing the other as the now-essential being, and superseding the other, making oneself the essential being -- all of this occurring because one sees oneself, or the essential structure of self-consciousness there in the other. There are some ambiguities -- doubleings of meanings -- involved in this interplay and process, culminating in self-consciousness now confronting the other as an independent, free being.
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'm so proud of myself that I have made it this far. It has been incredibly challenging, yet rewarding too.
Good job!
how many videos do you think it will take to get through the whole book?
(Also, please never delete this channel. Your videos are a huge help to students and will be for years to come).
+Sam Barkley I don't plan on ever deleting the channel, so no worries about that.
Getting through the entire work? Probably 300-350 videos at the rate I'm going. By the way, if you'd like to support this work, consider becoming a Patreon supporter: www.patreon.com/drgbsadler
+Gregory B. Sadler Thank you so much!
Gregory B. Sadler I'll try signing up but I can't afford much. I'm skint at the moment.

A new word for me -- "skint" -- which doesn't happen all that often.
I can tell you that Patreon allows pledges of whatever amount one likes, as well as the ability to say "I'll pay out only X times per month".
You Sir are a great man!!! The freedom of thought and education at its best. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
you’re an amazing speaker dude. cheers
Thanks!
Took me a while to get through the last section bc of personal reasons but wanted to let you know that I'm still very much enjoying and making the most of your content! Thank u as always
You're very welcome!
thank you again. great lecture.
+Mark Trumble You're welcome!
A funny twist in this dialectic. First I must praise these videos again because they are truly many things wrapped into one. But I was minding my own business mulling over a lot of this drinking a beer. Someone sat down at my table and I began to talk about it and he actually bought me another beer to hear more! Hopefully after this section I can get to the bottom of what happened then.
It's what one criticism of Plato's Symposium is: a drunken praise of sobriety.
Well, it's always nice to get a free beer out of it!
Thanks a lot. Really helped me with my task about Hegel's Phenomology of the spirit!
+Annie Raspberry Probably spelled the title wrong, sorry ^^
+Annie Raspberry Not a problem. I'm a poor speller myself, as you'll notice when I misspell words on the chalkboard!
English is not my mouther-tongue, so I struggle sometimes. My mother-tongue is, in fact, german and I managed to understand Hegel's origional German text with the help of your English guidance ^^
Annie Raspberry Hahaha! I've read Hegel over the years in English and French translations, as well as in the German original. And. . I've got to say, when his style is not rather muddy, it's usually due to some contribution by the translator!
It really is quite confusing. Especially we only got some pages and were totally thrown into the thing with less context. It takes some time and effort to fully grasp what he intents to say
For 'Jesse rios'. Yes there is a really good 22 pg. essay on this whole text by Stephen houlegate that is excellent. Most professors don't like dealing with secondary texts because they want you to engage the material on your own and think for yourself perhaps? I am not sure, but I do know that secondary material (if you read a diverse range of it) can be veryyyyy helpful indeed and often provides an indispensable framework on which to transpose ideas from the text itself. Always being aware that this is only a framework and of course one day superseding at least parts of that framework, progress is even more probable than just you and the text alone.

only 2000 views crazy. thanks for your hard work and sharing it with us.
Well, Hegel is not quite a popular as cat videos or gaming, to be sure. . . .
What's cool about that 2,000 though, is that most likely 500-600 of those are people who are watching their way through the entire series. . .
I finished the book yesterday. Life event achieved. Hegel was one of the most fun books I've read. Its like Taoism for philosophers. Have you gotten into Lacan at all?
Pascal Christeller I've written on Lacan
I got into Hegel through Lacan, via Zizek's the Sublime Object of Ideology. I also found the Phenomenology of Spirit many years ago walking down the street. It sat on my shelf for many years. I am now reading Kojève's intro to Hegel... this is some pretty good stuff. It feels even more philosophical than Hegel. It's like meta-Hegelian. You should do a video on the Time as Concept.
sit down to continue with the series, friend in next room begins to blast Deep Purple, there goes that. good to be back.
Great series Greg. This study of Hegelian philosophy and the self has made me think of a great book I read some time back called 'The Presentation of the Self in Everyday Life' by Erving Goffman. If you haven't read it I recommend it to anybody who can apply this study of the self to a sociological study of the self. This book is considered one of the top ten books on sociology in the 20th Century. Check it out, I think you'll like it.
+budcat7 I've read it
Is consciousness for itself the self that I am, and consciousness for itself the self that I want to be?
+Sisyphus In a word, No. The meaning of "in itself" and "for itself" is not something you can strictly and one-time-for-all identify with an opposed set of terms - they're used over and over again in the course of the Hegelian dialectic.
The concept of recognition makes me wonder what Hegel would think of the distinction between an entity that acts human, like an AI or something, and an actual human being. How do we as a self consciousness identify fellow self consciousnesses? Or is he simply leaving these hypotheticals to tradition (obviously not AI specifically but the notion of something that imitates human behavior)?
I have no idea what “leaving hypotheticals to tradition” would possibly mean
@@GregoryBSadler Well you said earlier that his distinction between animal life and self conscious life was derived from tradition. So for instance the notion that animals might possess a higher form of intelligence or something closer to human beings depending on the animal wasn't considered because he was simply following the traditional view with that. By "leaving hypothetical to tradition" I mean to ask if Hegel would simply denounce any possibility of a human being being accurately imitated in any convincing capacity and thus find the question to be poorly formed to begin with
It seems to me you’re unnecessarily mixing things up here in ways that makes what you want to ask about rather confusing. Just because there’s a long-standing tradition in philosophy of viewing brute animal life as different than human doesn’t mean Hegel is simply and blindly following it.
I’d suggest when you make comments here, if you want me to engage them, be as clear as you can.
@GregoryBSadler my question is how would hegel view things that mimic humans in the context of the dialectic. And how we distinguish between real self-consciousness versus mimicry. That's it. I simply provided one possibility I was thinking of.
Simple answer is; He wouldn't. What you see in the texts is what you get.
From an insider,s perspective with regards to Hegel, are there any good, and pithy synopses of this particular section of the phenomenology? Even an essay would work.
I spend very little time with secondary literature, so I'm not a good person to ask. Working with primary texts occupies much of my time
have you seen westworld yet?
We watched the first season over the course of a week. Pretty interesting stuff
Sartre's "the Gaze" reminds me in the second supersession explanation. Im being objectified by the other.
Yes, when you've read Sartre, you know that he references Hegel
