Houlgate G.W.F Hegel The Phenomenology of The Spirit

1. consciouness-assumption since the contents of consciousness are "universal" they must be publicly graspable others as well.
self-conciousness-requires one's awareness of oneself as a subject; recognition from others.
desire-makes us human, a grasp and negatively explained as "desire-for" and owns possessed loses it's 'desirability'
2. This reminds me of the ability things are interpret things and the views and manifestations that are formed within these views. The very existance and concious to see if this person is realized and his presence is known. Similar to Kiekagaards "I know I only exist", this similar in a way that others must recognize the prescense of this 'person' for example in a classroom, contradicting Kiekegaards believes.
3. Sensory Certainity-self-knowing spirit or "absolute knowing"
Absolute knowing-how shapes of consciousness nessarily transforms itself
4. "This, there, now", "Many, nows, many heres"
Do have knowledge of those and is part of our history. Dealing with the past and the timeline forming contradictory views with perception as the key.
5. "Perception ceases, and becomes understanding"
Perception distinguishes between the mainfold character and the inner unity of the object. Ceases to be mere perception and becomes understanding, "understanding with relation with yourself". Understanding is also self-conscious that finds the qualities of the inner object.
6. pg 13 "unity of the one with itself"
Self conscious is desire. Which means accomplishing and uniting with yourself. Enjoying the 'object; and enjoying ourselves.
7. pg 15
Other self-conscious as recognizing oneself as a self conscious subject. Between subjects, shapes, of "spirit itself". "Seeing the other is his or her recognition of my identity."
8. Mutual recognition is unsustainable. "Recognition is always embedded in a destabilizing tensions..on sided recognition." Self-consciousness is mutual recognition rather than conflict.
9. Intersubjectivities pg 18
"If social life is to fulfill its purpose and enable us to become conscious of ourselves in relation to what is other than us, nothing but mutual recognition". Over there-->losing oneself
10. pg 19
Hard to resist others. Mutual agreement is where one holds an ideal and accompliance for each and recognize their cooperation and the presence for mutuality. Acceptance of self-conscious and cooperation.
