Hegel stipulates in his master-slave dialectic that there are always two individuals, each of whom seeks the admiration of the other; In that competition, one is destined to succeed, while the other is not. However, the apparent triumph is nothing more than a mere mirage, since the end of the master's path is inevitably existential emptiness. This is due to the fact that when you finally get the admiration you need, it loses its meaning and despises it. Therefore, the masters are condemned to seek a third party or witness to testify that one subdued the other. History is encrypted by this struggle: who subdues whom and how long does he submit.
