In Dictionnnaire des Philosophes (ed. Denis Huisman, PUF, Paris 1984, p1442) it is stated that Kojève died in Paris. What is your source for Brussels? Leofischer
I'm not familiar about Kojeve, but how about re-writing the Philosophy section into sub section for clarification? As well as stating the sources if needed be quoting Kojeve himself. --195.68.200.21 14:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Philosophy
I think the section "Philosophy" on the main page needs to be expanded. If I understand Kojeve correctly what comes to an end with the Revolution/Napoleon/Hegel (RNH) is the struggle for an adequate theory. It is precisely at this historical (RNH) point that adequacy arrives both speculatively in Hegel and practically in the ideals of the French Revolution/Napoleon. Now, the need for violent struggle is not at an end at this point. These ideals must be brought to all parts of the world. This process is often violent but also this occurs at the same time 'technically' through the syncing up of economies and laws that is also part of the process of globalization.These struggles need to happen but they do not change the 'truth' arrived at by RNH. Thus our post-history (i.e., post-RNH) that we are today immersed in must indeed be often violent. It is only with the arrival of the Universal Homogenous State that violence stops. It stops because the Revolutionary/Napoleonic Ideals reign everywhere and Hegelianism is everywhere the final form of philosophy. Joe Pomonomo2003 01:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
yours is something of a summary. I think it would be a contribution if you include direct citation from the works and words of Kojeve along with any summary of this or that aspect of his views. interpretations we have already. we need more interpretations with adequate citation. for example, which statements and works of his are you referring to in your summary?

[edit] Old Mole??
"There is speculation that he died in shock at seeing this thesis overturned by the triumphant return of the Old Mole in May of that year in factories and cities all over Europe." -- Removing this sentence added 19 January 2007 by 86.144.88.165 . Odd / incomprehensible / probable vandalism, and at any rate, un-cited. -- 201.50.251.197 23:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
