In this episode we chat with Joe Saunders to tackle one of philosophy’s most enduring and provocative ideas: Hegel’s master-slave dialectic. Central to Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, the master-slave dialectic captures the struggle for recognition, the dynamics of power, and the evolution of self-consciousness through conflict.

In his talk at the Warwick Post-Kantian Seminar, Joe explores what is morally wrong with the master’s dominance over the slave. Tune in for an engaging examination of Hegel’s philosophy and its far-reaching implications for human relationships, societal structures, and political life. Here's a link to Joe’s research.
