The lord–bondsman dialectic (sometimes translated master–slave dialectic) is a famous passage in Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit.It is widely considered a key element in Hegel's philosophical system, and it has heavily influenced many subsequent philosophers.

Hegel believes that it is on the one hand the task of history to show that there is essentially reason in the development over time, while on the other hand history itself also has the task of ...
