本文首述黑格爾「承認說」與「主奴說」的緣起與論述的大旨，繼而指出他這些見解怎樣影響到馬克思有關人作為生產動物之說法，以及人力求擺脫典章制度的束縛和打破階級剝削，旨在追求最終的解放與自由的人性觀。最後談到黑格爾的學說如何衝擊西方馬克思主義諸大家（盧卡奇、沙特、梅洛－龐蒂等）以及新馬流派的女性主義者對男女不平等、階級對立和壓迫的詮釋。當然黑格爾的承認說對運動場上和比賽場合的選手爭勝避輸、奪標求冠的心態有深刻的剖析與高明的燭照之作用，是故值得矚目。

The article deals firstly with Hegel's theses of "recognition" and "Master-Slave relationship". It then discusses Marx's concept of man and social division in terms of class opposition and exploitation following his interpretation of Hegel's doctrine. Further, the essay focuses on social inequality, class antagonism and the possibility of human emancipation elaborated by Western Marxists (Lukács, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty etc.) and Neo-Marxists (especially Feminist Ann Ferguson) on the basis of Hegel's and Marx's conceptions of man, society and history. Finally, the author attempts to explicate the implications of Hegel's idea for the motivation of men and women participating in sport activities and other games.
