Abstract

Hegel’s conception of Spirit does not subordinate difference to sameness, in a way that would make it unusable for a genuinely intersubjective idealism directed to a comprehensive account of the contemporary world. A close analysis of the logic of recognition and the dialectic of conscience in the Phenomenology of Spirit demonstrates that the unity of Spirit emerges in and through conflict, and is forged in the process whereby particular encounters between differently situated individuals reveal and establish the emerging character and significance of the stances they uniquely occupy.

Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit seems an unlikely place for debates about sexual difference, gender roles, and family relations. But in fact, Chapter VIof the Phenomenology, subtitled “The True Spirit. The Ethical Order,” includes Hegel's discussion of these questions in his famous account of Antigone, a play and a character that continue to speak to us in strange and provocative ways. [REVIEW]Jocelyn B.
