The work situates student rebellions within French intellectual history after World War II, tracing how critiques of modernity and formal democracy—drawing on Marx and Heidegger—reconfigured philosophical debates. It examines competing interpretations of May ’68 and analyzes antihumanist positions through figures associated with Foucault, Derrida, Bourdieu, and Lacan, culminating in a return to the subject.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/french-philosophy-of-the-sixties-an-essay-on-antihumanism/515968/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/french-philosophy-of-the-sixties-an-essay-on-antihumanism/515968.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Aran","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-13","2026-10-06",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the book’s central focus regarding the “May ’68” context?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The book analyzes antihumanism within the philosophy associated with the “May ’68” period, treating student rebellions as part of a wider intellectual debate.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How does the author frame French intellectual history after World War II?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It argues that since 1945 French thought has been shaped by critiques of the modern world and values of formal democracy, inspired mainly by Marx and Heidegger.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Which philosophical movements or figures are discussed to develop the argument?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The table of contents links antihumanism to figures and currents such as Foucault, Derrida, Bourdieu, and Lacan, alongside related discussions of subjectivity and the “death of the subject”.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},515968,1791430086,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":39,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},137455076865,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_29158cc5080c5b710cf443261637dec0","Luc Ferry and Alain Renaut  \nFrench Philosophy of the Sixties An Essay on Antihumanism  \nTranslated by Mary H.
