Abstract

Can we read The Phenomenology of Spirit as a theory of ideology? Starting from what Kojève calls the «dialectic of ideologies» (pleasure, heart, virtue), we find not only an investigation into the role of desire in the formation of those figures of consciousness, but also a reflection about the way in which we conceive politics in the modern age. Hegel’s political thought is, here, an alternative to moralising narratives of history. Instead, we must stand for the primacy of labour and praxis in every project of social transformation.
