Reviews

“In this fine and learned new book, Trevor Wilson adroitly addresses to what extent was KojÈve influenced by various Russian intellectuals and political actors rather than just Hegel, Marx, Heidegger, and the Greeks. Wilson surveys a broad and impressive array of sources and scholarship to identify KojÈve’s Russian roots, and his argument merits serious consideration for anyone hoping to understand this most fascinating twentieth-century philosopher. Indeed, this book will certainly command the attention of English, French, and Russian scholars when it comes to ascertaining accurately KojÈve’s philosophic pedigree and the wide-ranging influence he continues to generate today.”—Bryan-Paul Frost, University of Louisiana at Lafayette “An impressive work that reflects and engages with sustained and solid scholarship, Alexandre KojÈve and the Specters of Russian Philosophy lucidly presents a fascinating and unique piece of intellectual history.”—Henry Pickford, Duke University
