Description
The New French Philosophy by Ian James offers a critical assessment of key developments in contemporary French thought. This book provides a close comparative reading of seven influential thinkers, including Jean-Luc Marion, Jean-Luc Nancy, Bernard Stiegler, Catherine Malabou, Jacques Rancière, Alain Badiou and François Laruelle.
These philosophers distance themselves from the linguistic paradigm that dominated twentieth-century thought, instead rethinking philosophical conceptions of materiality, worldliness, shared embodied existence and human agency or subjectivity. The result is a radical renewal of the claims, possibilities and transformative power of philosophical thinking itself.
This book will be an indispensable text for students of philosophy and anyone interested in current developments in philosophy and social thought.
