THE ADVENTURE OF FRENCH PHILOSOPHY.

The article focuses on the contemporary French philosophy. The author argues that it constitutes a new moment of philosophical creativity, both particular and universal. The problem is to identify this endeavor. What took place in France, in philosophy, between 1940 and the end of the 20th century? The French philosophical moment encompassed a new appropriation of German thought, a vision of science as creativity, a radical political engagement and a search for new forms in art and life. Across these operations runs the common attempt to find a new position, or disposition, for the concept: to displace the relation between the concept and its external environment by developing new relations to existence, to thought, to action, and to the movement of forms.
