Description

Demonstrates that Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit points the way to a new, post-modern form of normativity, and so self-consciousness. The lecture shows that its practical aspect is a magnanimous form of agency exercised by self-conscious individuals, who thereby create a new kind of recognitive community structured by rationalising recollection in the form of confession, forgiveness, and trust.
