L'unificazione del mondo. Alexandre Kojève e lo Stato universale e omogeneo

The Author reconstructs the genesis and the later developments of the concepts of the «universal and homogeneous State» in Kojève’s writings. From the lectures on Hegel to the Phenomenology of Right and the correspondence with Leo Strauss and Carl Schmitt, the paper analyses Kojève’s thought on the universal and homogeneous State as the political form of the post-historical age. In the last part, the Author reflects on Kojève’s vision of the political form of Europe.
