The Master Slave Dialectic

Hobbesian liberal conception of subjectivity is totally antithetical to how Hegel thinks he doesn't think we're caught up in some basic struggle. So that's why negation is so crucial for him, like negation and contradiction, I think, are always wrapped up together. And then it's a question of which negation is going to have primacy. Because you have two subjects you can't decide between the two. That's what constitutes the subject as a subject.
