The Phenomenology of Spirit
Hegel's foundational work traces the development of consciousness from sense-certainty to absolute knowledge. Through dialectical progression, the work explores the master-slave dialectic, the unhappy consciousness, and the journey toward self-consciousness and spirit. It profoundly influenced Marx, existentialism, and continental philosophy.
