THE NOTION OF AUTHORITY - ALEXANDRE KOJEVE KART...

In The Notion of Authority  written in the 1940s in Nazi-occupied France  Alexandre Kojeve
uncovers the conceptual premises of four primary models of authority  examining the practical
application of their derivative variations from the Enlightenment to Vichy France. This
foundational text  translated here into English for the first time  is the missing piece in any
discussion of sovereignty and political authority  worthy of a place alongside the work of
Weber  Arendt  Schmitt  Agamben or Dumezil. The Notion of Authority is a short and
sophisticated introduction to Kojeve's philosophy of right. It captures its author's
intellectual interests at a time when he was retiring from the career of a professional
philosopher and was about to become one of the pioneers of the Common Market and the idea of
the European Union.
