Description: Lectures on the Phenomenology of Spirit This collection of Kojeve's thoughts about Hegel constitutes one of the few important philosophical books of the twentieth century | ??a book, knowledge of which is requisite to the full awareness of our situation and to the grasp of the most modern perspective on the eternal questions of philosophy. | ?? Allan Bloom (from the Introduction) During the years 1933-1939, the Russian-born and German-educated Marxist political philosopher Alexandre Kojève (1902-1968) brilliantly explicated | ??through a series of lectures | ??the philosophy of Hegel as it was developed in the Phenomenology of Spirit. This collection of lectures | ??originally compiled by Raymond Queneau and edited for its English-language translation by Allan Bloom | ??shows the intensity of Kojève's study and thought and the depth of his insight into Hegel's Phenomenology. More important | ??for Kojève was above all a philosopher and not an ideologue | ??this profound and venturesome work on Hegel will expose the readers to the excitement of discovering a great mind in all its force and power.

Review: This text links Raymond Queneau (Exercises in Style, Oulipo), Allan Bloom (Closing of the American Mind), Lacan, Sartre... You name it. Those present at these lectures were some of the most important thinkers and writers of the last 50 years. Hugely influential. Like Klossowski in that regard. Seminal. It is an exciting document. Kojeve beautifully articulates the link between desre and the 'I' - which runs through Lacan and Zizek and shows how important a thinker Hegel is. He is not the thinker rejected and superseded by Marx - a cruel and distorted reading of history if ever there was one. He is the key figure, next to Nietzsche of the last century. Thoroughly recommended.

Review: It is widely known that Hegel is difficult to access. This text is also difficult to penetrate, and perhaps requires its own guide. After reading half of it (not all at once, I hasten to add) I was left wondering if anything I'd understood was what the author intended or my own desperate attempts to clutch at the ideas. I have read a number of philosophy books, and I have to say this one is highly overrated. Writing does not have to be this bad.
