Thanks for the follow up. My take is that the Moses story tracks Hegel's master/slave dialectic well in that the Pharaoh needs Moses to recognize his authority to be master, and does not receive it. The other Pharaoh recognizes Joseph as something other than a slave, but as a valuable ally, which is a different kind of recognition. I interpret recognition as a value judgment--as recognizing another as a worthy person. In these cases, the one Pharaoh didn't recognize Moses as someone worthy enough to listen to, while the other Pharaoh did recognize Joseph as such. Hegel mentions, but does delve into much, the idea that mutual recognition is crucial for ethical life. Your article does good in extending that line of thought.
