Social philosophy oscillates between two opposing ideas: that
individuals fashion society, and that society fashions individuals.
The concept of 'situation' was elaborated by the French
existentialist thinkers to avoid this dilemma. Individuals are seen
as actively situating themselves in society at the same time as
being situated by it. This book, first published in 1990, traces
the development of the concept of situation through the work of
Gabriel Marcel, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Maurice
Merleau-Ponty. It shows how it illuminates questions of self or
subjectivity, embodiment and gender, society and history, and
argues that it goes far beyond the currently fashionable notions of
the 'death of the subject'.
