Abstract

MAUER, Manuel. Foucault y Kojève: Post-historia e hiper-historicidad. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2010, vol.36, n.2, pp.265-284. ISSN 1852-7353.

This paper discusses the supposed affinity of diagnosis that, according to several commentators (Roth, Drury, Ewald, Agamben, Castro), would re-tie the works of Michel Foucault and Alexandre Kojève, concerning a series of common topics as the post-revolutionary present, the "death of man" and the biopolitical turn of modern politics. Our hypothesis is that the discrepancy in the premises (i.e. in the conception of temporality that subtends the reflection of one and another author) determines that the supposed nearness between both thinkers is restricted to a merely verbal coincidence, in the level of syntagms, but not of concepts.

Keywords : Post-history; Biopolitics; Kojève; Foucault.
