Alexandre Kojève
philosopher · 2 mentions across 2 readings
In this course
Kojève appears here primarily as a historical reference point for teleological thinking about history's trajectory, specifically the idea that civilization moves inevitably toward a predetermined endpoint. The course readings invoke Kojève alongside Fukuyama to critique apocalyptic frameworks—whether expressed as "end of history" narratives or contemporary risk discourse—as limiting philosophical constraints on how we might imagine technological futures beyond predetermined endpoints.
