Book Description.
French philosophy and cultural theory continue to hold a prestigious and
influential position in European thought. One of the central themes of
contemporary French philosophy is its concern with the theoretical and
political status of the subject, a question which has been broached by
structuralists and poststructuralists through an analysis of the
construction of the subject in and by language, discourse, power and
ideology.Contemporary French Philosophy outlines the construction of the
subject in modern philosophy, focusing in particular on the seminal
work of Althusser, Lacan, Derrida and Foucault. The book interrogates
some of the most influential perspectives on the question of the subject
to contest those postmodern voices which announce its disappearance or
death. It argues instead that the question of the subject persists, even
in those perspectives which seek to abandon it altogether.Providing a
broad introduction to the field and an original analysis of some of the
most influential theorists of the 20th Century, the book will be of
great interest to political and literary theorists, cultural historians,
as well as to philosophers.
