You always manage to supercede yourself Dr. Sadler.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Hahaha! You mean in the Hegelian sense of aufheben?

[@Frenchhornhero]

My interest in Hegel comes from my interest in Lacan. The influence has never been made clearer to me than in these videos, so thank you very much for that.

Is the "other" referred to here intrinsic or extrinsic to the self-consciousness? In this section it sort of seems intrinsic, whereas by the master/slave dialectic it seems much more extrinsic. Should I think of the "other" as a sort of "self-othering?" If not, is it more like a constant, abstract "otherness" or is it something revisited differently during every encounter with another human?

[@GregoryBSadler]

Both

Hegel's philosophy is very similar to that of the Kabbalah even if for the Kabbalists it would be the opposite, the desire comes before the conscience itself and its actions preceding it, however, the concept is similar

[@GregoryBSadler]

That’s not “very similar”. Between any two things one can usually find superficial similarities
