But the Slave, for his part, recognizes the Master in his human dignity and reality,\u00a0 and the Slave behaves accordingly.\u00a0 The Master’s “certainty” is therefore not purely subjective and “immediate,” but objectivized and “mediated” by another’s, the Slave’s, recognition.\u00a0 While the Slave still remains an “immediate,” natural, “bestial” being, the Master \u2014 as a result of his fight\u2014 is already human, “mediated.”<\/p>\n
The relation between Master and Slave, therefore, is not recognition properly so-called. … this recognition is one-sided, for he (the Master rt) does not recognize in turn the Slave’s human reality and dignity.\u00a0 Hence, he is recognized by someone whom he does not recognize.\u00a0 And this is what is insufficient \u2014and tragic\u2014 in his situation. The Master has fought and risked his life for a recognition without value for him.\u00a0 For he can be satisfied only by recognition from one whom he recognizes as worthy of recognizing him.\u00a0 … The Master, therefore, was on the wrong track. After the fight that made him a Master, he is not what he wanted to be in starting that fight: a man recognized by another man.\u00a0 Therefore: if man can be satisfied only by recognition, the man who behaves as a Master will never be satisfied. 20<\/p>\n
If idle Mastery is an impasse, laborious Slavery, in contrast, is the source of all human, social, historical progress.\u00a0 history is the history of the working Slave. The Slave, in transforming the given World by his work, transcends the given and what is given by that given in himself; hence, he goes beyond himself, and also goes beyond the Master who is tied to the given which, not working, he leaves intact.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
For only in an by work does man finally become aware of the significance, the value, and the necessity of his experience of fearing absolute power, incarnated form him in the Master.<\/p>\n
The produce of work is the worker’s production.\u00a0 It is the realization of his project, of his idea; hence, it is he that is realized in and by this product, and consequently he contemplates himself when he contemplates it.\u00a0 Now, this artificial product is at the same time just as “autonomous,” just as objective, just as independent of man, as is the natural thing. Therefore, it is by work, and only by work, that man realizes<\/em> himself objectively<\/em> as man. <\/strong><\/p>\n
Only after producing an artificial object is man himself really and objectively more than and different from a natural being<\/strong>; and only in this real and objective product does he become truly conscious of his subjective human reality. 25<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Work, then, is what “forms-or-educates” man beyond the animal.\u00a0 The “formed-or-educated” man, the completed man who is satisfied by his completion, is hence necessarily not Master but Slave; or, at least, he who passed through Slavery.\u00a0 25<\/p>\n
It is by work in the Master’s service performed in terror that the Slave frees himself from the terror that enslaved him to the Master. 26<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
