Generating great controversy on its publication in France, this
book argues that a counter-revolution in intellectual life has seen
the period of the "master thinkers" of the 1960s succeeded by an
era of generalized mediocrity. Where Althusser or Lacan, Foucault
or Derrida once held centre stage, today restorationist currents
prevail in academia and on television. The author discusses how,
fuelled by a complaisant media, contemporary French ideology seeks
neither to interpret nor change the world, but is instead content
to legitimize a globally hegemonic neo-liberalism.
