KAMAL, MUHAMMAD
(Department of Philosophy, University of Poona, 1998)
This paper deals with Hegel’s dialectic interpretation of the conflictual relationship between the self and the other for recognition; the domination of the other by the self, which results in creating two unequal kinds of human being in history. It is argued that the recognition and freedom of the self by the other at the end of the conflict is doomed to failure as the other is reduced to a ‘thing’ and enslaved.
