Résumé :
|
This collection of conversations eavesdrops on contemporary themes in French intellectual life. The short question and answer form of the dialogue provides an introduction to the work of modern French philosophers. Such well-known figures as Jacques Derrida, Luce Irigaray and Emmanuel Levinas are joined in this book by thinkers whose writings are only now beginning to make an impact on the English-speaking world: Michelle LeDoeuff, Monique Schneider and Michel Serres. Raoul Mortley has drawn out the ideas, personalities and society of these important thinkers. Each thinker represents one or more strand of the Parisien philosophical scene and feminism, phenomenology, literature, semiotics, psychoanalysis and communication are just some of the many subjects covered in this book. "French Philosophers in Conversation" will appeal to those interested in modern thought and the major impact thinkers from France continue to have.
