These developments are assessed through a close comparative reading of the work of seven contemporary thinkers: Jean-Luc Marion, Jean-Luc Nancy, Bernard Stiegler, Catherine Malabou, Jacques Ranci re, Alain Badiou and Fran ois Laruelle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book situates the writing of each philosopher in relation to earlier traditions of French thought. In differing ways, these philosophers decisively distance themselves from the linguistic paradigm which dominated so much twentieth-century thought in order to rethink philosophical conceptions of materiality, worldliness, shared embodied existence and human agency or subjectivity. They thereby open the way for a radical renewal of the claims, possibilities and transformative power of philosophical thinking itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be an indispensable text for students of philosophy and for anyone interested in current developments in philosophy and social thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIan James \u003c\/b\u003eis university lecturer in the Department of French at the University of Cambridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42744700862527,"sku":"9780745648064","price":54.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/da0df60cc911e25909c07f1fd778bc2d_afacda03-3c4e-436f-912b-48ed1c59f7f4.webp?v=1765169148","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/new-french-philosophy-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
