A "Marxist of the [[right]]," as he called himself, Kojève came to postulate as early as the 1950s that while [[Karl Marx]]'s [[philosophy]] of [[history]] was correct, and that history was progressing towards the emergence of a [[universal]] and homogeneous [[state]], it would be [[liberal]] [[capitalist]] in [[character]], rather than socialist or [[communist]]. The then-dominant [[idealism|idealistic]] [[tradition]] in France was of a [[Immanuel Kant|Kantian]] type with little influence of [[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel]]'s [[idealism]], which had been popular in [[Germany]], [[England]] and [[Italy]]. Coming in the heels of [[Alexandre Koyré]]'s [[understanding]] of [[Time]] in Hegel, Kojève helped [[change]] this in France, albeit in somewhat different [[terms]] than those existing at that time in Germany and Italy.
[[Liberal capitalism]] had proven to be more efficient in garnering the technological requirements necessary to [[master]] [[nature]], banish scarcity and meet the [[needs]] of humanity. This view created much controversy when it was restated by [[Francis Fukuyama]] in his work ''[[The End of History]]'' ([[1992]]), which drew heavily on [[Hegel]] as seen by Kojève. Kojève's views on this were reprinted in the Spring 1980 (Vol. 9) edition of the French journal ''Commentaire'' in an article entitled 'Capitalisme et socialisme: [[Marx]] est Dieu; Ford est son prophète.' Some critics of [[Fukuyama]] have pointed out that his reliance on Kojève obscures some of the bleaker dimensions of Kojève's [[idea]] of the "[[End of History|end of history]]."
Some of Kojève's more important lectures on Hegel have been published in [[English]] in ''Introduction to the [[Reading]] of Hegel: Lectures on [[Phenomenology]] of Spirit''. Kojève's [[interpretation]] of Hegel has been one of the most influential of the [[past]] century. His lectures were attended by [[intellectual]]s including [[Raymond Queneau]], [[Georges Bataille]], [[Maurice Merleau-Ponty]], [[Andre Breton]], [[Jean-Paul Sartre]], [[Jacques Lacan]] and [[Raymond Aron]]. [[Other]] French thinkers have acknowledged his influence on their [[thought]], including the [[post-structuralist]] [[philosophers]] [[Michel Foucault]] and [[Jacques Derrida]]. His most influential work was ''Introduction à la lecture de Hegel'' (1947), which summarized many of his lectures and included, in [[full]], some [[others]].
