Summary/Abstract: This articles is a short analysis of the first entry in Aleksander Kozhevnikov’s (Kojève) Diary of a Philosopher, dedicated to the battle of Arginusae and subsequent trial of Athenian generals. A great discrepancy between facts – as presented by young Kozhevnikov – and ancient sources and their interpretation in modern scholarship leads to an attempt to find out the contemporary inspiration of this short text, followed by some remarks on previous interpretations of this very first ‘philosophical’ essay of young Kojève.
