{"product_id":"the-mediocracy-dominique-lecourt-9781859844304","title":"The Mediocracy: French Philosophy Since the Mid-1970s","description":"Generating great controversy on its publication in France, The Mediocracy argues that a veritable counter-revolution in intellectual life has seen the period of the 'master thinkers' of the 1960s succeeded by an era of generalized mediocrity. Where Althusser or Lacan, Foucault or Derrida once held centre stage, today restorationist currents prevail in academia and on television. Fuelled by a complaisant media, contemporary French ideology seeks neither to interpret nor change the world, but is instead content to legitimise a globally hegemonic neo-liberalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominique Lecourt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1859844308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859844304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.21h x 4.98w x 0.78d","brand":"Dominique Lecourt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173164314879,"sku":"9781859844304","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3621a2f2-87de-4a60-b5df-d57a5f0b8291.jpg?v=1689791343","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mediocracy-dominique-lecourt-9781859844304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
