Kant

About the author

ALEXANDRE KOJÈVE (1902-1968) was one of the major philosophers of the twentieth century. His famous lectures on Hegel and his provocative end-of-history thesis left an indelible mark on contemporary thought. By the end of the Second World War, he abandoned academic philosophy to embark on a diplomatic career. While occupying an influential position in French foreign trade diplomacy, Kojève worked on a series of manuscripts which largely remained unpublished until well after his death. Initially dismissed as post-historical irony and play, Kojève's post-war philosophical writings should open new perspectives on how we became post-historical and where we go from here.Hager Weslati is a lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at the Kingston University of London. Her recent writings include "Travel in Disguise: On Travel Writing and Cultural Governance" in Not So Innocent Abroad: the Politics of Travel and Travel Writing and "Deserts in Literary and Religious Fundamentalism" in Literary Encounters of Fundamentalism.
