This collective contribution to work on French philosophy is both nicely heterogeneous and fully coherent. Its featured subjects are a striking departure from the usual suspects, while building on the state of the art. Its twelve chapters offer a fresh look at existing problematics and distinctive approaches to new material. It will be essential reading for anyone working on recent and contemporary French thought, writ large.
