Hegel believed power to be a problem in developing self-consciousness.

However, as the master understands himself and accomplishes his work through the slave he will not come into contact with his own capacities, abilities, etc, but will instead develop fear of his slave who is, by the work set to him, developing a greater capacity to create due to the feedback provided by the work he does.
