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 606 $aPhilosophy, French 606 $2Philosophy 606 $aSubject (Philosophy)$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 606 $aPhilosophy, French$y20th century 606 $aSubject (Philosophy)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern$y20th century 615 0$aPhilosophy, French. 615 0$aSubject (Philosophy)$xHistory. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 615 0$aPhilosophy, French 615 0$aSubject (Philosophy)$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern 676 $a194 700 $aWilliams$b Caroline$f1966-$0912139 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458251003321 996 $aContemporary French philosophy$92042436 997 $aUNINA
