Product Description

This highly original history of ideas considers the impact of Hegel on French philosophy from the 1920s to the present. As Baugh's lucid narrative makes clear, Hegel's influence on French philosophy has been profound, and can be traced through all the major intellectual movements and thinkers in France throughout the 20th Century from Jean Wahl, Sartre, and Bataille to Foucault, Deleuze, and Derrida. Baugh focuses on Hegel's idea of the "unhappy consciousness," and provides a bold new account of Hegel's early reception in French intellectual history.

First Sentence
At least part of the responsibility for the widespread misapprehension that a genuine knowledge of Hegel did not exist in France prior to the publication of Jean Hyppolite's Genese et structure de la Phenomenologie de Hegel in 1946 and Kojeve's Introduction a la lecture de Hegel in 1947 lies in the enthusiastic response these works received in postwar France.
