    4: Between Kant and Hegel: Alexandre Kojève and the End of Law

    This is the fourth episode of the End of law podcast and consists of a lecture by professor Jeff Love. It was recorded on 1 June 2021 as part of the Law, Theology and Culture seminar in Lund. Jeff Love is Research Professor of German and Russian at Clemson University and the author of several books including The Black Circle: A Life of Alexandre Kojève (Columbia University Press, 2018) and translations of among other authors Kojéve and Schelling. The epsisode starts with a short introduction by Mårten Björk and then professor Love's lecture on Alexandre Kojève. In his lecture Love focuses on the Kantian and Hegelian aspects of Kojève's work, especially in relation to his posthumously published treatise Outline of a Phenomenology of Right. In this work Kojève expounds a comprehensive theory of justice and the universal homogeneous state that promises to usher in the end of history and perhaps of law itself. Love examines some of the central legal features of Kojève's universal and homogeneous state and consider whether Kojève actually affirms that history can be brought to an end through a final legal regime or not. This podcast is produced by the End of Law research project in collaboration with the At the End of the World research programme. Producer is Joel Kuhlin and the music is by Simon Hansson.

    This is the third episode of the End of law podcast. In this episode Tormod Johansen and Jayne Svenungsson talks to Alison McQueen, political scientist working at Stanford University. We discussed her 2018 book Political Realism in Apocalyptic Times.
