Has the world already reached «the end of history» and gave rise to the so-called Universal State? According to Alexandre Kojève, it did, but there could be something missing.
Boris Groys will take a deeper look at these notions and try to prove that they may be a mere secularization of Vladimir Solovyov’s concept of the Universal Free Theocracy. An atheistic attitude does not always imply a complete rejection of the theological tradition — in many cases, it means politicization of theology. In his lecture, Groys will argue that this may actually be the case for Kojève’s strategy.
