There is a brief section in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, which is devoted to the evolution of self-consciousness, the striving for interpersonal recognition, and the vicissitudes of labor. Special attention will be given to the concepts of ressentiment (Nietzsche), recognition (Kojeve), justice (Marx/Freud/Derrida/Lyotard), repression (Freud), to the role that work plays in mediating identity-formation, and to expression of instinctual tendencies. Since we cannot canvass this field in its entirety, we will carefully examine some of the basic themes and thinkers involved. We will also explore segments of three art films (by Arnold, Bunuel and Fassbinder) related to our theme. Students are invited to explore and explain the contributions of theorists who have closely related concerns who may not be covered in lectures or required readings.

This lecture and discussion course on Kierkegaard's existentialism studies writings from his various periods, with special attention to the Concluding Unscientific Postscript in relation to Hegel's Science of Logic. It criticizes claims some make that Hegel's philosophy is indifferent to human existential concerns and Kierkegaard's position is entirely anti-Hegelian. On the contrary, the lectures shows some elements of Kiekegaard's critique of Hegel are derived from the Science of Logic. Other philosophers in addition to Hegel enter the dialogue with Kierkegaard. The course compares his analysis of the public in The Present Age with Marx's Private Property and Commubism and examines his arguments about God in relation to Kant's critical philosophy.
