Abstract

One of the twentieth century's most brilliant and unconventional thinkers, Alexandre Kojève was a Russian émigré to France whose lectures on Hegel in the 1930s galvanized a generation of French intellectuals. Although Kojève wrote a great deal, he published very little in his lifetime, and so the ongoing rediscovery of his work continues to present new challenges to philosophy and political theory. Written in 1931 but left unfinished, Atheism is an erudite and open-ended exploration of profound questions of estrangement, death, suicide, and the infinite that demonstrates the range and the provocative power of Kojève's thought.Ranging across Heidegger, Buddhism, Christianity, German idealism, Russian literature, and mathematics, Kojève advances a novel argument about freedom and authority. He investigates the possibility that there is not any vantage point or source of authority-including philosophy, science, or God-that is outside or beyond politics and the world as we experience it. The question becomes whether atheism-or theism-is even a meaningful position since both affirmation and denial of God's existence imply a knowledge that seems clearly outside our capacities. Masterfully translated by Jeff Love, this book offers a striking new perspective on Kojève's work and its implications for theism, atheism, politics, and freedom.

Abstract

Ce livre offre une perspective inédite sur la philosophie de Paul Ricoeur en la situant dans le contexte de son engagement socio-politique. Réfutant l'opinion commune que cette philosophie serait une pratique savante abstraite, née en réaction à la modernité et à la sécularisation, il reconstruit l'engagement de Ricoeur dans son époque, face aux grandes questions de (dé)colonisation, géopolitique, modernité, mondialisation, pluralisme culturel et activisme politique. On y découvre également comment ces préoccupations ont influencé sa vision de l'herméneutique et sa trajectoire philosophique.Le plaidoyer de Ricoeur en faveur d'un monde multipolaire et de l'égalité des traditions culturelles prend tout son sens et, pour la première fois, ses pratiques académiques anti-eurocentriques sont pleinement mises en évidence. Ernst Wolff ne se contente pas d'évaluer le travail de Ricoeur selon les termes de ce dernier, mais aussi à la lumière des sciences sociales. De plus, pour aller jusqu'au bout de la pensée même du philosophe, il la met en dialogue avec ses contemporains africains. At the basis of Paul Ricœur's philosophy, there is an intense and practical engagement with the urgent issues of his time - (de)colonization, globalization, modernity, cultural plurality, geopolitics. Examining this neglected fact reinvigorates the contemporary relevance of his thought and revitalizes social-political hermeneutics.
