Focusing primarily upon the thought of 20th century German émigré political scientist Eric Voegelin, the book argues that we cannot understand the globalized world in which we live unless we appreciate the lasting influence of the various \"End of History\" speculators—specifically, G.W.F Hegel, Alexandre Kojève, and Francis Fukuyama. Through a Voegelinian lens, he dissects the relationship between these three thinkers, also claiming that while Voegelin may have misunderstood Hegel, his critiques of the Hegelian approach to history offer fresh and important perspectives on the contemporary world. This makes a forceful argument that the idea of history as a teleological path, leading toward some goal—whether perfect harmony between nations, a technocratic utopia, a return to some romanticized idyllic “state of nature,” or what Kojève and Fukuyama called the “universal and homogenous State”—has vast, and perverse, implications for the trajectory of American foreign and domestic policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with the assumption that we today are still fundamentally inhabitants of Hegel’s world-- the modern world-- Michael Colebrook has provided an always insightful and often provocative analysis of the relationship among Hegel, Alexandre Kojève, and Eric Voegelin. The latter two are themselves first-class thinkers whose commentaries on Hegel have generated considerable controversy. Colebrook’s focus is on the symbol “End of History,” made famous in Kojève’s lectures in the 1930s in Paris and a staple of French political thinking ever since. Coming to terms with Colebrook’s judicious interpretation will be a significant future task for scholars of any, or all, of these three thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Barry Cooper, University of Calgary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: General Introduction to the End of History Controversy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The End of History, Identity Politics, and Transcendence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: The Origins of a Hegelian Misunderstanding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: Hegel and the Crisis of Christian Salvation History\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Universal History Reimagined\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Elements of Historiogenesis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Tradition-Bound Historiogenesis: Christian Historia Sacra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Gnostic Historiogenesis: The Case of Hegel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Historical Mankind and Historical Traditions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III: Intentionality and the Historical Process\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Voegelin on Human Consciousness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Kojève’s Hegel on Time and History\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Voegelin on the Problem of Time and the “Stop-History” Movements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart IV: Hegel’s Eclipse of Reality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Hegel as Psychiatric Case Study?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Voegelin and R.D.
