Heidegger in France (Studies in Continental Thought) Kindle Edition

by Dominique Janicaud (Author), François Raffoul (Translator), David Pettigrew (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

Dominique Janicaud claimed that every French intellectual movement—from existentialism to psychoanalysis—was influenced by Martin Heidegger. This translation of Janicaud's landmark work, Heidegger en France, details Heidegger's reception in philosophy and other humanistic and social science disciplines. Interviews with key French thinkers such as Françoise Dastur, Jacques Derrida, Éliane Escoubas, Jean Greisch, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Jean-Luc Marion, and Jean-Luc Nancy are included and provide further reflection on Heidegger's relationship to French philosophy. An intellectual undertaking of authoritative scope, this work furnishes a thorough history of the French reception of Heidegger's thought.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Janicaud shows himself to be a charming writer, and the English translation admirably conveys the clarity and deftness of his French prose into English. Indeed, one largely unsung quality of Janicaud's writings, be it this text or his more properly philosophical works, is his prose; combining clarity with wit, he is much more enjoyable to read than many of his contemporaries, and his translators are to be complemented for bringing those elements with them into the English translation."―The Heythrop Journal

"In sum, this book is informed, interesting,well written, useful, and as accurate as it could have been for someone writing at a time when relevant documentation was being withheld by Heidegger's followers."―American Historical Review

"Heidegger in France is a major contribution to the history of Continental philosophy and to French phenomenology. . . Essential."―Choice

"Janicaud sheds light on the contemporary French philosophical scene and he has done this from an angle seldom seen by others. It is a lively story and reminds us that the life of ideas, the destiny of a thought, is an exciting matter."―Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"Every student of contemporary European philosophy and literature needs to read this extraordinary book."―David Farrell Krell, author of The Tragic Absolute: German Idealism and the Languishing of God

Review

Every student of contemporary European philosophy and literature needs to read this extraordinary book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Those are the headlines: Now the gossip behind the news!

    If one is interested in Heidegger or the movements that he inspired (such as existentialism, deconstruction, post modern everything), then this work is a page turner. I repeat: a page turner; could not put it down! Engages in a scholarly - indeed rigorous way - with the challenges, technicalities, and difficulties of both the early and late Heidegger. But just as engaging ... gets into all the gossip and interpersonal politics behind the scenes. For me personally, I was interested to read those passages - quite a few, though by no means essential to the overall plot, about my former teacher Paul Ricouer, who appears every once in a while in the action to say something smart and provocative such as "In addition to the Greeks about the Bible and the Hebrew and Christian traditions?" Engaging narrative, anecdotes, and contributions about many other modern thinkers from Derrida to Levinas to Marion, Nancy, Lacoue-Labarthe, Dastur - Lacan!? - the list is too long to include here. Heidegger's influence was multi-dimensional, substantial - over-the-top. Casts an interesting light on the strengths and limitations of Heidegger, the man, whose personal shortcomings are many (including a blind spot six million wide and deep known as The Holocaust) and threaten - greatly threaten - to invalidate his philosophical innovations. With the passing (12/10/16) of William Richardson SJ, author of Heidegger: Through Phenomenology to Thought, which introduced Heidegger, The Thinker, to the Anglo-American audiences, Janicaud's contribution is timely, engaging, and most welcome. Make no mistake, this is a substantial - even monumental - work of scholarship. Admirably translated by Francois Raffoul and David Pettigrew. For so many reasons, not to be missed!
