The Phenomenology is certainly one of the most charismatic texts in the history of philosophy. Therefore, I am quite convinced that in two hundred years, if there still is human life on earth, people will be sitting in small circles all over the globe, trying to come to grips with the problems of the Phenomenology. What about sense certainty? What about lordship and bondage? What about the unhappy consciousness? And, last but not least, what about absolute knowing?CARL-GÖRAN HEIDEGREN
