HSSS 204B 20th C. French Political Thought

This course explores the writings of French thinkers searching for meaning and understanding in a time of great triumphs and tragedies. It begins with a theoretical and historical overview from the late 19th Century to today, then surveys leading schools of French thought, such as existentialism, personalism, structuralism, and postmodernity, and considers their relevance to Western political crises of neoliberalism, populism, the welfare state, and identity.
