Alexandre Kojeve

"Nichols examines the major writings of Alexandre Kojeve, clarifying the character and bringing to light the importance of his political philosophy. This is an essential assessment of Kojeve, 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. This book is for anyone who seeks to understand contemporary political philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
