Alexandre Kojève is a Russian émigré French philosopher notable for his 1933 to 1939 lectures on the philosopher Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. Here he famously laid great emphasis on the Master-Slave dialectic. He has been credited as an influence by Infrared, though Infrared has said that this is an overstatement, listing Bataille as a greater influence.
Some of his written works include:
- Introduction to the Reading of Hegel
- The Religious Metaphysics of Vladimir Solovyov
- The Notion of Authority
- Outline of a Phenomenology of Right
- Kandinsky
