French Hegel From Surrealism to Postmodernism

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.Baugh, Bruce is the author of 'French Hegel From Surrealism to Postmodernism' with ISBN 9780415965866 and ISBN 0415965861.
