Summary: Of present Being in a delegitimated past
Review: Powerful and informative analysis of complex trends in 20th Century French philosophic thought. With our growing consensus on the limits of knowledge, language, and the 'human', this text situates and clarifies the value and influence of Hegel minus metaphysics and the richness of Nietzschean inquiry still possible given Heidegger's ultimate limit of the return of the Same.If we recognize Lacan's human-as-barred-subject, our only 'sensible' project, given one's structure, is pursuit of a 'reasonable' libidinal economy. History as parallel with no enlightened EndState leave us with the same injunction for social action. But we continue to insist "Che Vuoi?" Outstanding scholarship and wonderfully referenced.
