Two eminent French philosophers discuss German philosophy-including
the legacy of Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Adorno, Fichte, Marx, and
Heidegger-from a French perspective. In this book, Alain Badiou and
Jean-Luc Nancy, the two most important living philosophers in
France, discuss German philosophy from a French perspective.
Written in the form of a dialogue, and revised and expanded from a
2016 conversation between the two philosophers at the Universitat
der Kunste Berlin, the book offers not only Badiou's and Nancy's
reinterpretations of German philosophers and philosophical
concepts, but also an accessible introduction to the greatest
thinkers of German philosophy. Badiou and Nancy discuss and debate
such topics as the legacies of Kant, Hegel, and Marx, as well as
Nietzsche, Adorno, Fichte, Schelling, and the unavoidable problem
of Heidegger and Nazism. The dialogue is contentious, friendly, and
often quotable, with strong-at times passionate-positions taken by
both Badiou and Nancy, who find themselves disagreeing over Kant,
for example, and in unexpected agreement on Marx, for another. What
does it mean, then, to conduct a dialogue on German philosophy from
a French perspective? As volume editor Jan Voelker observes,
"German philosophy" and "French philosophy" describe complex
constellations that, despite the reference to nation-states and
languages, above all encompass shared concepts and
problems-although these take a range of forms. Perhaps they can
reveal their essential import only in translation.
