“Book Descriptions: This is a critical introduction to modern French philosophy (1933-1979) that expresses the main movements and figures in their political and cultural contexts.
Descombes traces the evolution of thought from a generation preoccupied with the 'three H's' (Hegel, Husserl, and Heidegger) to a generation influenced since about 1960 by the 'three masters of suspicion'—Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud.
In this framework he deals in turn with the thought of Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, the early structuralists, Foucault, Althusser, Serres, Derrida, and finally Deleuze and Lyotard.
