Thank you for your essay!

Only to correct a typo: the complete section quoted from the PoS actually corresponds to number 652 [Cambridge UP, edited and translated by T. Pinkard, 2018].

Great essay! Your line “Self-deception is a fundamental part of every shape of Spirit” eloquently and succinctly captured some of Hegel’s most important thinking, which you align well with the “A = A”-problem. Your closing sentences were also wonderful: ‘This formative work transforms the destructive demons into zealous angels and is the supersession of oneself. This rebirth is the attainment of a newer, livelier, more real, more present and more aware self. It is the attainment of a new way to be for self and others as a more actual self.’ Well done!
