The Differentiation in the Identity : On Hegel's Concept of the Constitution of Self-Consciousness in the Chapter "Power and Understanding" in the Phenomenology of Spirit

Abstract

The book is an investigation of the series of the steps in which the consciousness comes about as a self-consciousness. The consciousness has to become a self-consciousness before it can begin to investigate what it knows, if it knows itself, as Hegel says.
