Description
The Notion of Authority by Alexandre Kojève Translated into English for the first time, this foundational text explores the conceptual premises of four primary models of authority. Written in 1940s France, it examines how these concepts were applied from the Enlightenment to Vichy France. This short and sophisticated introduction to Kojève's philosophy of right offers a unique perspective on sovereignty and political authority. It provides valuable insights into the intellectual interests of its author at a pivotal moment in his life, as he was transitioning from academia to new roles in European integration. A missing piece in discussions of sovereignty and authority, The Notion of Authority is an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, politics, or the history of ideas.
