{"product_id":"new-french-philosophy-ian-james-9780745648064","title":"New French Philosophy","description":"This book gives a critical assessment of key developments in contemporary French philosophy, highlighting the diverse ways in which recent French thought has moved beyond the philosophical positions and arguments which have been widely associated with the terms 'post-structuralism' and 'postmodernism'. These developments are assessed through a close comparative reading of the work of seven contemporary thinkers: Jean-Luc Marion, Jean-Luc Nancy, Bernard Stiegler, Catherine Malabou, Jacques Ranci re, Alain Badiou and Fran ois Laruelle. \u003cp\u003eThe book situates the writing of each philosopher in relation to earlier traditions of French thought. In differing ways, these philosophers decisively distance themselves from the linguistic paradigm which dominated so much twentieth-century thought in order to rethink philosophical conceptions of materiality, worldliness, shared embodied existence and human agency or subjectivity. They thereby open the way for a radical renewal of the claims, possibilities and transformative power of philosophical thinking itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be an indispensable text for students of philosophy and for anyone interested in current developments in philosophy and social thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745648061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745648064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2013","brand":"Ian James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947074486527,"sku":"9780745648064","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_eb5e2972-8f4b-484c-9a00-84e6eeb7c389.jpg?v=1681516561","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-french-philosophy-ian-james-9780745648064","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
