An Atheism that Is Not Humanist Emerges in French Thought (Cultural Memory in the Present) 1st Edition by Stefanos Geroulanos (PDF)

Description

French philosophy changed dramatically in the second quarter of the twentieth century. In the wake of World War I and, later, the Nazi and Soviet disasters, major philosophers such as Kojève, Levinas, Heidegger, Koyré, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Hyppolite argued that man could no longer fill the void left by the “death of God” without also calling up the worst in human history and denigrating the dignity of the human subject. In response, they contributed to a new belief that man should no longer be viewed as the basis for existence, thought, and ethics; rather, human nature became dependent on other concepts and structures, including Being, language, thought, and culture. This argument, which was to be paramount for existentialism and structuralism, came to dominate postwar thought. This intellectual history of these developments argues that at their heart lay a new atheism that rejected humanism as insufficient and ultimately violent.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Good counterpoint (and better written) frankly to Delaney’s 2009 book on the return of religious thinking in French intellectual life. Heartily recommended. And sits well alongside Marion’s work on the Cartesian self and Augustine subjectivity. All good stuff. But then I would say that….
