    6. Dialectic: Lordship & Bondage --Hegel “The lord therefore paradoxically depends for his lordship on the bondsman’s self-consciousness… The truth of independent self-consciousness is therefore to be found rather in the bondsman’s self-consciousness than in the lord’s. Each is therefore the inverse of what it immediately and superficially is given as being.”  Quoting J.N. Findlay’s commentary on Hegel’s sections 192-193 of the Phenomenology
