Generation Existential by Ethan Kleinberg

Generation Existential by Ethan Kleinberg

Kleinberg offers new insights into intellectual figures whose influence on modern French philosophy has been enormous, including some whose thought remains under-explored outside France.

A compelling account of the peaceful invasion of contemporary French theory by the German existentialist whose legacy remains tainted by his support for National SocialismKleinberg's account unfolds through individual portraits of the intriguing personalities—Emmanuel Lévinas, Alexandre Koyré, Alexandre Kojéve, Raymond Aron, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean Beaufret, and Maurice Blanchot—whose interrogation of subjectivity and alterity, ontology and historicity, and freedom and responsibility were powerfully influenced by Heidegger's thinking. Kleinberg's rigorous examination of the translation of Heidegger's concepts and questions into the French context explores how the 'generation of 1933' became 'generation existential.'
