Thank you for this Mr. Howse. It is very interesting. As I was reading two points came to mind; first, when you mention Bloom's attraction to Rousseau...

Thanks for your thoughtful responses. What you say about Merleau-Ponty is entirely plausible, as he was a regular attendee at those lectures. On the UHS, I'm...
Mr. Howse, If I understand you correctly, you are suggest that Strauss would not necessarily have objected to Kojeve's juridical UHS but did positively object...
As an expert on Kojeve, I'm curious what you think about the discovery he was a spy for the Soviets. Is that accurate and does it change your view of him? ... ...
I agree with Mr. Martin. I don't think it would be very difficult to show that Humanism and Terror owes something, probably a lot, to Kojčve. I would go...
Here is a review of the Rosen Republic book. http://ndpr.nd.edu/review.cfm?id=5881 As far as I could tell, the Republic book is basically Rosen's lecture notes...
I meant that from Kojeve's view (as defender, indeed, perhaps even creator of) the UHS all opposition is one. But this is an old story, in opposition the...

Yes, one can indeed explain modern French philosophy by positing Kojeve as its secret 'Master Thinker'. But one can do the same with Heidegger; the first...

I glanced at Rochmore's book but didn't give it an in-depth look. I've been meaning to get back to it. I haven't read Kleinberg. How is it? On French...
There is a constant refrain in this conversation: a critique of Darwin as part of a wider philosophical critique of what we refer to as "modern science." But...
Rockmore is more interested in the rotteness at the core of Heidegger (and Heidegger reception in France) while Kleinberg wants to give a more straight-forward...
Thanks, That more or less confirms my initial impression of Rockmore's book. I suppose I have to read the whole thing but it will be more out of a sense of...
If you wanted to be more specific, it's section 82 of Being and Time that Kojeve draws from. Kojeve places great emphasis on the account of time in the early...
