that there is no consciousness of self without consciousness of the other. which isn't maybe all that crazy to think about on first glance.

but he's also the direct inspiration for marx and lacan, the 714 books zizek writes, the minotaur of milwaukee, and lots of other stuff. hegel's a big deal and is fun as fuck to think about.

i'm partial to kojeve's interpretation also but some people don't like it. it blew a lot of minds in france and elsewhere in the 30s though. for kojeve basically all social life is a brutal struggle for recognition - Work, Slave, Master, much else - so you can read more on that here.

for sure,
>inb4 kojeve gets hegel wrong
is necessary so as not to trigger the die-hard hegelanons on this board.

but i mean the phenomenology is one of /lit/'s favorite books and has had a massive influence on intellectual and social history. no marx without him. he moved the narrative on after kant and arguably completed the system of german idealism. all kinds of stuff.

will this thoroughly prep me for big man Hegel?

if i read this will i be ready for Hegel?

For all the hegelians out there, both the initiated and the wannabe-hegelians, why don't we all read Kojeve and discuss it later on? Or even if we don't discuss it, I just wanna share it with you people so our daily Hegel threads can gain a bit more substance.

Kojève's interpretation of Hegel has been one of the most influential of the past century. His lectures were attended by intellectuals including Raymond Queneau, Georges Bataille, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, André Breton, Jacques Lacan and Raymond Aron. His interpretation of the master-slave dialectic was an important influence on Jacques Lacan's mirror stage theory. Other French thinkers who have acknowledged his influence on their thought include the post-structuralist philosophers Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. His most influential work was Introduction à la lecture de Hegel (1947), which summarized many of his lectures and included, in full, some others.

Any takers?

This book is changing my life. Am I getting sucked into some kind of Hegelian cult?
