The book brings into relief Kojève’s original contributions as a legal thinker through a series of critical dialogues and debates about law and right between Kojève and other influential contributors to legal scholarship across the humanities and social sciences.These critical dialogues and debates are comparative in character and range from factual ones—such as Kojève’s dialogues and debates with Leo Strauss and Carl Schmitt—to hypothetical ones—such as Kojève’s dialogues and debates with Plato, Immanuel Kant, G.W.F. Hegel, Vladimir Solovyov, Alexis de Tocqueville, Max Weber, Ivan Ilyin, Evgeny Pashukanis, Ernst Bloch, Edmund Husserl, and Hannah Arendt. Spotlighting Kojève’s distinct contributions to legal scholarship, while also showcasing his broader influence across a range of disciplines—including philosophy, political theory, sociology, law, and transnational studies—the book includes original contributions from eminent editors, translators, and biographers of Kojève, as well as from historians of legal and political thought, specialists on global trade and private international law, statelessness, and public international law.Kojève and Law will appeal to legal historians, legal theorists, political philosophers, sociologists of law, as well as historians of philosophy and political thought, and to graduate students in philosophy, law, and the history of political thought.

Revisiting Marx’s Critique of Liberalism offers a theoretical reconstruction of Karl Marx’s new materialist understanding of justice, legality, and rights through the vantage point of his widely invoked but generally misunderstood critique of liberalism. The book begins by reconstructing Marx’s conception of justice and rights through close textual interpretation and extrapolation. The central thesis of the book is, firstly, that Marx regards justice as an essential feature of any society, including the emancipated society of the future; and secondly, that standards of justice and right undergo transformation throughout history. The book then tracks the enduring legacy of Marx’s critique of liberal justice by examining how leading contemporary political theorists such as John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas, Axel Honneth, and Nancy Fraser have responded to Marx’s critique of liberalism in the face of global financial capitalism and the hollowing out of democratically-enacted law. TheMarx that emerges from this book is therefore a thoroughly modern thinker whose insights shed valuable light on some of the most pressing challenges confronting liberal democracies today.
