Alexandre Kojève. Filosofia e politica nel tempo della post-storia

The essay addresses issues of philosophical-political thought of Alexandre Kojève, one of the most important philosopher in the Twentieth Century. The A. gets through his main works: from the Introduction to the reading of Hegel (focusing on the master-slave dialectic, the universal and homogeneous State, the announcement of the end of history, and the wisdom) up to the essays on the concepts of authority and law, till the dialogue with Leo Strauss about the link among philosophy, politics and tyranny, up to the essays on the new form of political space (the Empire) in the age of post-history, till his last work left undone, the Système du savoir.
