Temporality, Exile, and Freedom
This article reconstructs Rachel Bespaloff’s political philosophy through the intersecting themes of exile, corporeality and temporality. Focusing on “Twofold Relationship” and “On the Iliad,” it examines her concepts of the instant and embodied freedom. In dialogue with Hannah Arendt’s philosophy of action and her notion of natality, it reconstructs Bespaloff’s ethics forged under violence and war. It finally contrasts their respective political…
Alexandre Kojève, “Immanence and transcendence” (1939)
Alexandre Kojève’s “Immanence et transcendence” (1939) critically examines Father Grégoire’s attempt to prove the existence of God through metaphysical causality. In line with his 1930s lectures on Hegel, Kojève contends that theism and atheism are not resolvable through theoretical reason alone but require a practical decision. This early, previously unpublished text gives a unique insight into Kojève’s criticism of transcendence, echoing earlie…
Introduction
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a peculiar slogan began cropping up across certain parts of the United States: "Don't immanentize the eschaton!"This imperative, made popular by the American conservative intellectual William H. Buckley Jr., was turned into a political mantra by the Young Americans for Freedom, plastered on car bumpers and raised on placards at rallies.The pithy phrase served as an injunction against political ideologies, from b…

Through the Looking Glass
This brief report looks back at the international conference Images of the Ideal, held in Berlin in May 2024 to celebrate the centenary of the Soviet philosopher Evald Ilyenkov (1924Ilyenkov ( -1979)).The event highlighted that Ilyenkov is becoming an important voice in contemporary discourses on philosophy of culture, social and critical theory, psychology and education, materialism, AI and automation, ecology and the political economy of capita…
Translation of Evald Ilyenkov, “Notes on Wagner”
Wagner is usually seen as the author of vivid, brilliantly arranged symphonic scenes-the Ride of the Valkyries, the Fire Magic, Forest Murmurs, and similar strikingly colourful pictures. 1This image comes quite naturally to anyone who gets acquainted with Wagner's work through concerts, radio programmes, especially our own, 2 and is further reinforced by commentary from our musicologists, who rely on such authorities as Tchaikovsky. 3The latter, …
Introduction to Evald Ilyenkov, “Notes on Wagner”
Thinking in circles
This paper analyzes Russian-French philosopher Alexandre Kojève’s dialogue with proponents of Hegelianism and phenomenology in Soviet Russia of the 1920–30s. Considering works by Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Ivan Ilyin, Gustav Shpet, and Alexandre Koyré, I retrace Hegelian themes in Kojève, focusing on the relation between method and time. I argue that original reflections on method played a key role in both Russian Hegelianism and Kojève’s work, from his …
