I need to read phenomenology of spirit
Some ideas which stayed w me:
- our existence is affirmed through making explicit actions towards it
- the truth does not shine in and of itself, it shines in recognition from others (thinking about gender affirming surgery through this lens)
- master-slave analogy: if your personhood is denied by others, your personhood itself diminishes
- theory+practice unity

I don’t know if I will learn anything based on his ignorant renaissance-consciousness dogma of “freedom only in the west”, but I will give it a try.
