In Summer 2000, Susan Buck-Morss published an essay in Critical Inquiry titled “Hegel and Haiti”. This article quickly developed into a real cultural phenomenon, attracting both high praise and sharp criticism. In response to this criticism, Morss authored a second essay, “Universal History”. The two essays were subsequently published together as Hegel, Haiti and Universal History (2009), which is soon to be published in an Arabic edition by the ACRPS. This is the translation of Part II of the second article, the first having been published in Ostour 14. Both essays span multiple fields: they are a sort of historical-philosophical enquiry, or history written as political philosophy, which analyse and critique the rationalist, humanist and universalist slogans of the enlightenment without trying to erase them.
