Hmmmm ... your article deserves more likes! But that is the problem with this Medium, the most important subjects get surpassed by the junk. Just to say, I follow your critique of Kojève, but I was under the impression that the preservation of the master was precisely its negation and preservation by the internalization of slave ...no? (this introjection being an important part of the Aufhebung). So the master was killed, but not well enough, since it comes back in the abstract, merely internal and ego-centric, intellectual 'mastery' of the slave = stoic. There is still a master, but the body (slave) is now under the yoke of self-conscious thought (master). If we push the introjection further we get to Freud's theory of the obsessional as the cynical, if not 'unhappy consciousness' of a thought that cannot realize its freedom except abstractly. But then that would require a whole other development.

Just a few grains of salt,
