Alexandre Kojeve: Wisdom at the End of History

By James H. Nichols

Book Overview

Nichols examines the major writings of Alexandre Koj ve, and clarifies the character and brings to light the importance of his political philosophy. While emphasizing the political dimension of Koj ve's thought, Nichols treats all his major published writings and shows how the remarkably varied parts of Koj ve's intellectual endeavor go together. This is an essential assessment of Koj ve which considers the works that preceded his turn to Hegel, seeks to articulate the character of his Hegelianism, and reflects in detail on the two different meanings that the end of history had in two different periods of his thought.
