Introduction To The Reading Of Hegel
''Introduction to the Reading of Hegel: Lectures on the Phenomenology of Spirit'' () is a 1947 book about Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel by the philosopher Alexandre Kojève, in which the author combines the labor philosophy of Karl Marx with the Being-Toward-Death of Martin Heidegger. Kojève develops many themes that would be fundamental to existentialism and French theory such as the end of history and the Master-Slave dialectic.
