What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani sees Kojève as a brilliant commentator on Hegel. He recalls that Kojève taught Hegel before the war to a small circle1. He values him for having tackled several chapters of the Phenomenology of Spirit head-on in the Introduction to the Reading of Hegel, which revived Hegelian studies in France2. He also links his name to the "Hegelian explosions" of the post-war period3. On the other hand, he faults him, as he does Sartre, for a subjectivist dialectic that denies the dialectic of nature4. Above all, he puts forward the Essay on a Reasoned History of Pagan Philosophy: he calls it the greatest monument on Greek thought5 and a masterpiece. In his view, Kojève orders the Presocratics in it and treats Plato and Aristotle remarkably well6. In it, Kojève builds the history of ancient philosophy on the pattern of Hegelian absolute knowledge, which for Pagani makes it the closest thing to such a synthesis7.
