The Mediocracy: French Philosophy Since the Mid-1970s

Meer over het boek

Lecourt critiques the philosophical trends and political failures of contemporary thought, contrasting them with the critical projects of Althusser, Foucault, and others from the pre-and post-1968 era. He advocates for a revival of the intellectual traditions that established Paris as the center of post-war European philosophy, emphasizing the need to reconnect with the critical spirit of that time.
