tHE transcendental preoccupations of Western thought, which set reified, metaphysically assured figurations of Being over and above
the processes of Becoming
tHE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE HAS BEEN A disavowal of such metaphysically anchored and ultimately timeless
configurations of human being frees man from determinism and ‘throws’
him into his existential freedom.
In Kojève’s thinking, man’s struggle is to

satisfied, in the course of which he comes to accept his own freedom, ridding himself of the illusions of
religion and superstition, ‘heroically’ claiming his own finitude or
mortality.
