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.
