Description: "Kelly's study of Kojve aims to correct two generations of misinterpretation. It is unique because: (1) he provides the first comprehensive analysis of Kojve's writings that includes material published after the famous lectures on Hegel delivered during the 1930s, and (2) it proceeds from the inside, from Kojve's phenomenology of time, to the outside, to history as a concluded sequence. The theorists of modern tyranny, of which exemplars from Karimov to Chavez, from Atlantic to Pacific across many time zones, will have to come to grips, even if they cannot come to terms, with Kelly's controversial Kojve. For those few capable of enjoying Kojve's Glasperlenspiel, this book is something no one could anticipate: a new interpretation!" --Barry Cooper, University of Calgary
