TY - JOUR A1 - DuBose, Todd T1 - Lordship, Bondage, and the Formation of Homo Religiosus T2 - Journal of Religion and Health, Vol. 39, No. 3 (2000), pp. 217–226. [Online ISSN 1573-6571] [doi.org/10.1023/A:1010306523093] N2 - After a brief exploration of Hegel's writing on the formation of self-consciousness, including the place of religiosity in this formation, the article examines Kojeve's response to a Hegelian homo religiosus, followed by a counter-response to Kojeve's atheism through a peculiar, Jaspersian reading of Erich Fromm's discussion of the >X< experience. Finally, it will be argued that the desire for mutual recognition, and humanity's yearning for transcendence, are essential experiences in the formation of self-consciousness.
