  In the most influential chapter of his most important philosophical work, the Phenomenology of Spirit , Hegel makes the central and disarming assertions that 'self-consciousness is desire itself' and that it attains its 'satisfaction' only in another self-consciousness. This book presents a fresh interpretation of these revolutionary claims.
