Marco Filoni, L’azione politica del filosofo: La vita e il pensiero di Alexandre Kojève, 2021 – English review, French interview

I have the French translation of the first edition of Marco Filoni’s biography of Alexandre Kojève, which stops rather abruptly in the early 1940s. It’s good to know that there is a new edition which completes the story – Marco Filoni, L’azione politica del filosofo: La vita e il pensiero di Alexandre Kojève, 2021.

There is an English-language review by Kyle Moore in Studies in East European Thought.

And a French interview with Gerardo Muñoz in Grand Continent Alexandre Kojève, philosophe de la politique mondiale, une conversation avec Marco Filoni

Update: Marco tells me there will be a French translation of the second edition with Gallimard. No plans for an English version as far as I know. In English, Jeff Love’s The Black Circle: A Life of Alexandre Kojève came out with Columbia University Press a few years ago. Update 2: There is an English version of Filoni’s biography forthcoming]
