This edited volume addresses Alexandre Kojeve's work from different
perspectives, emphasizing the continuity between his early
reception of a set of non-philosophical and philosophical
influences and that which he might have sought himself to exercise
in a pedagogical and practical manner. The first part of the book
comprises six essays in which their authors explore Kojeve's
understanding of art, religion and atheism, and his reception of
the thought of Hegel, Marx, and Carl Schmitt. The book's second
part is made up by two contributions that tackle respectively
Kojeve's conceptions of the "end of history" and "empire" in the
light of his notion of Sophia or "Wisdom", and his understanding of
the relationship between philosophy and power in the light of an
exegetical reading of the debate he held with Leo Strauss. The
authors of the final three essays set out to explore the extent to
which Kojeve's previous processing of a set of non-philosophical
and philosophical influences might have resulted in three
increasingly concrete outcomes, namely: his notion of authority;
the Lacanian mirror-stage; and global trade.
