Introduction to the Reading of Hegel: Lectures on the Phenomenology of Spirit by Alexandre Kojève, Alexandre Kojeve

4.0

Don’t really have a unified review, but some notes:

- Really helpful analysis of the political implications of the master-slave dialectic
- Refreshing to see a reading of Hegel that admits his philosophy of nature is almost certainly nonsense
- Not sure I buy Kojeve’s existentialist approach to the dialectics of mortality and history
- Would have appreciated a more critical treatment of the “constitutional monarchy = end of history” argument, but perhaps that’s beyond the aims of this work
