Introduction to the reading of hegel: lectures on the phenomenology of spirit - Alexandre Koj�ve

This collection of Kojeves thoughts about Hegel constitutes one of the few important philosophical books of the twentieth century-a book, knowledge of which is requisite to the full awareness of our situation and to the grasp of the most modern perspective on the eternal questions of philosophy.

--Allan Bloom (from his introduction) During the years 1933-1939, the Russian-born and German-educated Marxist political philosopher Alexandre Koj ve (1902-1968) brilliantly explicated--through a series of lectures--the philosophy of Hegel as it was developed in the Phenomenology of Spirit.

This collection of lectures--originally compiled by Raymond Queneau and edited for its English-language translation by Allan Bloom--shows the intensity of Koj ves study and thought and the depth of his insight into Hegels Phenomenology.
