An in-depth exploration of the French reception of Heidegger's philosophy

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the major themes, debates, and figures involved in this significant intellectual exchange.

Heidegger's philosophy has had a profound impact on French thought, inspiring a wide range of thinkers from Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty to Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault. This book explores the complex and often contradictory ways in which Heidegger's ideas have been interpreted and appropriated by French philosophers.

The book is divided into four parts. The first part provides a general overview of the French reception of Heidegger's philosophy. The second part examines the major themes of Heidegger's thought, such as being, time, and death. The third part explores the debates that have arisen over the interpretation of Heidegger's philosophy. The fourth part examines the influence of Heidegger's philosophy on French thought, including its impact on existentialism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, deconstruction, critical theory, and post-structuralism.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of French philosophy or the work of Heidegger.
