Philosophy and Politics at the Precipice maintains that political philosopher Alexandre Koj ve (1901-68) has been both famously misunderstood and famous for being misunderstood. Koj ve was famously understood by interpreters for seeing an "end of history" (an end that would display universal free democracies and even freer markets) as critical to his thought. He became famously misunderstood when interpreters, at the end of the twentieth century, placed such an end at the center of his thought. This book reads Koj ve again - as a thinker of time, not its end. It presents Koj ve as a philosopher and precisely as a time phenomenologist, rather than as a New Age guru. The book shows how Koj ve's time is inherently political, and indeed tyrannical, for being about his understanding of human relation. However, Koj ve's views on time and tyranny prove his undoing for making rule impossible because of what the book terms the "time-tyrant problem." Koj ve's entire political corpus is best understood as an attempt to rectify this problem.
So understood, Philosophy and Politics at the Precipice provides fresh perspective on the true nature of Koj vian irony, Koj ve's aims in the Strauss-Koj ve exchange, and how Koj ve at his best captures a philosophical, phenomenological time, one that marks some of the most dynamic and unique events of the twentieth century.
Headlines have largely erased the notion that history has ended. Philosophy and Politics at the Precipice, on the other hand, provides the philosophical justification for arguing that the end of the last millennium was not an end and that, for his view of time, Koj ve remains a thinker for the times ahead.
