This Core Concept video focuses on the Self-Consciousness section of G.W.F. Hegel's early masterpiece, the Phenomenology of Spirit, and examines his discussion bearing upon the nature of self-consciousness as desire for the other. The desire (Begierde) is actually for recognition (Anerkennen) from the other. Self-consciousness cannot be what it is - cannot be related to itself, and understand itself adequately - without its other. Following out this dialectic will eventually lead into the dialectic of Master and Slave.
