Abstract (2. Language): 
Georges Bataille’s intellectual attitude toward Hegel implies a certain complex structure. This makes it difficult to posit Bataille’s attitude as endorsement or rejection of Hegel. Even if it is possible to infer that Bataille’s formulation of sovereignty directly challenges Hegel’s Phenomenology, we can still realize that in Bataille’s sovereignty, the crucial part is played by the insights taken from Phenomenology. This study tries to look at where this relationship finds its clearest expression: slave/ master dialectics. The main concern of this study, therefore, consists in analyzing the insights which we realize when we put slave/master dialectic and Bataille’s sovereignty side by side. This shows not only how Bataille’s sovereignty enlightens slave/master dialectics, but also how Bataille’s encounter with Hegel conditions his formulation of sovereignty.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Georges Bataille’ın Hegel karşısındaki entelektüel konumu karmaşık bir yapıya sahiptir. Bu karmaşıklık Bataille’ın Hegel karşısındaki konumunu ret veya kabul tercihleriyle sınırlandırmayı imkansız hale getirmektedir. Bataille’ın egemenlik kuramının Fenomenoloji’’nin bir eleştirisi olduğunu anlamak zor değilse de, Bataille’ın egemenliği formüle etmede Fenomenoloji’ye çok şey borçlu olduğu da bir gerçektir. Bu çalışma Bataille ile Hegel arasındaki bu ilişkinin en belirgin olarak ortaya çıktığı yere bakmak istemektedir: köle/efendi diyalektiği. O halde, çalışmanın temel çıkış noktası Bataille’ın egemenliği ile köle/efendi diyalektiğini birlikte okumanın ortaya koyacağı çıkarımlardır. Bu Bataille’ın egemenlik kavramının köle/efendi diyalektiğini ne derecede aydınlattığını göstermekle kalmayacak, aynı zamanda Bataille’ın Hegel ile karşılaşmasının onun egemenliği formüle etmesini nasıl etkilediğini de ortaya koyacaktır.
