Hegel’s Master-Slave Dialectic and Identity Politics - a podcast by Daniel Dal Monte

In this episode, I illuminate the modern notion of identity politics through a description of Hegel’s parable of the master and the slave. This parable is about how consciousness views itself as a transparent measure of all things, only to be relativized in the encounter with the “other,” that is, another consciousness. I tie in this encounter with the other with identity politics, which is perpetually seeking outliers to the dominant cultural narrative.
