Open Democracy's article suggests Francis Fukuyama "is caught between the triumphalism of Kant, Hegel, and Marx, and the despair of Nietzsche, Heidegger and Kojève."
Marx is viewed as a "sunny rationalist" who embraces modern man's quest to end superstition and replace the "shameful" past of tribalism with a "universal Empire of Reason."
In contrast to Marx, Alexander Kojève "imagined that a cold and arid rationality would take over the globe and that as a result, everything wild, irrational and unpredictable would disappear from it."
Alexander Kojève was heavily influenced by Hegel and Marx.

Blog of the Week

"The terms racism and sexism are well defined and accepted as discriminatory beliefs. Industrialization and the development of social classes has naturally led to another system that must be placed in the same category as racism and sexism: classism. What is classism? Simply, classism is the separation of people due to social class which includes, economic circumstances, education, and standard of living. Classism is the fact that Paris Hilton will spend ten thousand dollars on her dog but will not give one thousand dollars to aid a young man or woman in attending college. Classism is a banker purchasing a new Mercedes-Benz and driving his car off of the show floor and past a mother wondering how shell make enough money to pay her rent and feed her children"
