科耶夫论历史的终结

Kojève on the End of History

在科耶夫看来,历史的终结不仅仅是一种理论,更是一种现实。科耶夫的这一认识与他在法国政府部门的政治实践有关。由于这种政治实践,他不但改变了对于历史终结的看法,也改变了对于作为终极国家的普遍同质国家的理解。科耶夫的历史终结观典型地体现了现代历史哲学中关于理论与实践的复杂关系。历史哲学本质上是一种实践哲学,历史作为人之筹划和行动的产物,既是可知的,也是有限的,而作为历史终极状态的普遍同质国家则是一种现代理想国的实现。

According to Kojève,'the end of history'is not just a theory,but a reality.Kojève's understanding is related to his political experience.Due to his experience,he changes his view of'the end of history'and that of a universal and homogeneous state.Kojève's view of history represents the complicated relationship of theory and practice in the philosophy of history.Modern philosophy of history is a practical philosophy.As a product of human projects and activities,history is cognizable and limited.And a universal and homogeneous state,as the result of the end of history,is the realization of a modern ideal state.
