Summary/Abstract: Discussion about dialectics of Master and Slave is probably the most disputable in various interpretations of Hegel's philosophy. The basis of this discussion in New Testament has not been taken in consideration yet. Dialectics of Father and Son, i.e. God and Christ from speculative John's Gospel (while synoptic Gospels are empirical and sensual) in Hegel's work is transformed into dialectics master and slave. There is also a polemical part of this discussion, turned towards Aristotele. Hegel's position is being developed as unity of unity (Aristotele's understanding of God) and difference (John's idea of God) in the form of Spirit.
