In the academic environment there is a widespread prescription of V. V. Rozanov's work as incoherent and unsystematic. This assessment is due to the lack of study of Rozanov's early theoretical work (“Study of the idea of happiness as the idea of the supreme beginning of human life”, “On Understanding”).

Jean-François Lyotard's famous characterisation of the postmodern condition as the ‘incredulity towards metanarratives’ (1984: 23–24) has been influential in the anthropology of the 1980s, both in the sense of its internal methodological scepticism and as critical realism that questioned the post-utopian state of the external world that anthropology explored. The anthropology of globalisation and neoliberalism ...

In our article we examine the dialectic of slave and master through the optics of two French Neo-Hegelian thinkers, Alexandre Kojève and Georges Bataille. Both thinkers attempt to answer the question of how the ideal of man is possible with this dialectic. However, they arrive at different answers. Kojève sees the possibility of perfection only ...
