"This is a multifaceted work ... a stimulating introduction to a rich philosophical era, and it is all the more rewarding due to Schrift's specific focus on the structure of philosophical institutions in France." (Philosophy In Review)"Schrift has written a book that is a gift to both scholars and students. This volume should be a required textbook in every course in Continental philosophy. Highly recommended." (Choice)"This is an astonishing book, a must-read for anyone interested not only in twentieth-century French philosophy, but also in the academic situation in France that produced, among others, Derrida, Deleuze, and Foucault."—Leonard Lawlor, University of Memphis"A most welcome addition to the literature on twentieth-century French philosophy, and will prove to be an invaluable guide to students and scholars alike. Written in a lucid and instructive manner, it features material and information little known to English-speaking readers but vital for full appreciation of French thought. The book is essential reading for anyone involved in the subject."—Keith Ansell Pearson, University of Warwick"A clear and thorough account … also introduce[s] the reader to some lesser-known influences .... A historical reference work, but is also much more." (Continental Philosophy Review)
