Abstract

Alexandre Kojève (1902-1968) was an important and provocative thinker. Born in Russia, he spent most of his life in France. His interpretation of Hegel and his notorious declaration that history had come to an end exerted great influence on French thinkers and writers such as Raymond Aron, Georges Bataille, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Lacan, and Raymond Queneau. An unorthodox Marxist, he was a critic of Martin Heidegger and interlocutor of Leo Strauss who played a significant role in establishing the European Economic Community; a polyglot with many unusual interests, he wrote works, mostly unpublished in his lifetime, on quantum physics, the problem of the infinite, Buddhism, atheism, and Vassily Kandinsky's paintings.In The Black Circle, Jeff Love reinterprets Kojève's works, showing him to be an essential thinker who challenged modern society and its valuation of individuality, self-interest, and freedom from death. Emphasizing Kojève's neglected Russian roots, The Black Circle puts him in the context of the late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Russian debates over the proper ends of human life. Love explores notions of perfection, freedom, and finality in Kojève's account of Hegel and his neglected later works, clarifying Kojève's emancipatory thinking and the meaning of the oft-misinterpreted "end of history." Combining intellectual history, close textual analysis, and philosophy, The Black Circle reveals Kojève's thought as a profound critique of capitalist individualism and a timely meditation on human freedom.

Abstract

Qui peut nier l’influence qu’exerça cet esprit supérieur sur sa génération, tant sur son auditoire de l’École pratique des hautes études, lorsque, avant 1940, il proposa une lecture commentée de la Phénoménologie de l’Esprit de Hegel, que sur les directeurs des plus hautes instances du monde économique, après la guerre, auprès desquels il occupa une fonction de conseiller ? Cependant, malgré cette réputation flatteuse et imposante de Kojève, malgré la mise à disposition du public cultivé de ses textes et ouvrages majeurs, malgré une série de travaux importants consacrés à cette figure et à cette œuvre par des intellectuels de premier plan, malgré, enfin, la richesse d’informations apportée par une première biographie globale due à Dominique Auffret, Kojève reste méconnu. Certes, le personnage était énigmatique et cultivait le secret. Il avait ses raisons, dont la moindre n’était pas qu’il était né russe et demeura profondément attaché au peuple russe. Mais au-delà de ces considérations, quel dialogue pouvait effectivement s’instaurer entre celui qui fut considéré par certains (dont Raymond Aron) comme l’homme le plus intelligent de sa génération et souffrit même, en quelque sorte, d’un excès d’intelligence, et ses interlocuteurs, si éminents fussent-ils ? Le philosophe américain Stanley Rosen, qui s’entretint toutes les semaines avec lui pendant l’année universitaire 1960-1961 qu’il passa à Paris en tant que Fulbright Research Professor à la Sorbonne, ne s’exprime autrement quand il dit de Kojève qu’il était « the best stocked and best-functioning brain that I have had the pleasure of observing ». L’homme Kojève est-il donc impénétrable ? Son renom va-t-il définitivement se fonder sur une incommunicabilité sertie de lumières fulgurantes ?

Abstract

On Tyranny remains a perennial favorite, possessing a timelessness that few philosophical or scholarly debates have ever achieved. On one hand, On Tyranny is the first book-length work in Leo Strauss's extended study of Xenophon, and his "Restatement" retains a vivacity and directness that is sometimes absent in his later works. On the other, "Tyranny and Wisdom" is perhaps the most succinct yet fullest articulation of Alexandre Kojève's overall political thought, and it presents what may be the most uncompromising alternative to Strauss's position as a whole. This volume contains for the first time a comprehensive and critical examination of the debate from scholars well versed in the thought of Strauss, Kojève, Hegel, Heidegger, and the end of history thesis. Of particular interest will be the appendix, which offers for the first time Kojève's unabridged response to Strauss, a response previously available only from the Fonds Kojève at Le Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Accessible to students and scholars alike, this volume works equally well in the classroom and as a resource for more advanced research.
