Goatboy’s Reviews > Modern French Philosophy > Status Update

Hope you're liking it. Took a break after three chapters, but will finish it soon.

I am enjoying it although it is a bit more dense than I was expecting. I'm continually fascinated by the Kojeve vector and how much he set the tone and direction of modern French thought, especially in regards to desire and negation. Seems to directly lead into both Sartre and Lacan. Eventually I will hopefully find my way to Hegel and Kojeve's Introduction to Hegel. But right now I'm feeling the itch to read a big piece of fiction so I may detour...

Yeah, the quaint cover and general sounding title is rather deceptive. Though I'm glad it's not too dumbed down either. I will resume Kojeve after I finally finish the Phenomenology, which has taken longer than anticipated, though I'm almost there.

Enjoy!

I'm sure Phenomenology is a whopper to get through - Good Job!
