(1997) Hegel's phenomenology of spirit, Dordrecht, Springer.
Duquette's paper, "The Political Significance of Hegel's Concept of Recognition"relates Hegel's mature political thought to the struggle for recognition played out in the Phenomenology of Spirit. Hegel's mature conception of an ethical political community is seen as reconciling the tensions exemplified in the recognitive trials of self-consciousness set out in the Phenomenology of Spirit. Duquette sees the ethical ties of citizenship, which Hegel envisages rational modern citizens as recognising, as answering the dilemmas of misrecognition evident in the asymmetry of the relations between master and slave set out in the Phenomenology of Spirit.
