Abstract
In studying the "new philosophy" which has emerged in
France in the last ten years, I shall attempt three things.
First, I would like to present an interpretation of the new
philosophy. I will attempt to summarize accurately the position
established by the new philosophers regarding man's relationship to his environment, his fellow man, and his government. I have chosen to focus upon three of
the most visible and influential of the new philosophers,
Bernard Henri Levy, Jean Marie Benoist, and Andre Glucksmann,
as well as three other theorists who have provided much of
the basis of the new philosophy, Michel Foucault, Jacques
Lacan, and Jacques Derrida.
In the second section of this study, I shall attempt to
present a philosophical critique of the new philosophy. The principal philosophers upon
whom I shall rely in evaluating the new philosophy include
Rousseau, Hobbes, Hegel, Nietzsche, and of course, Marx.
Finally, I would like to locate some of the cultural
sources of the new philosophy.
