Twentieth-Century French Philosophy: Key Themes and Thinkers ReviewAlan Schrift (Grinnell College) has written a book that is a gift to both scholars and students. Singular in both its conception and execution, the book has three main parts: an 80-page historical overview of 20th-century French philosophy; a nearly exhaustive 100-page compilation of brief biographies of both major and minor figures in French thought; and two appendices (which deserve bigger billing). The first appendix is an overview of academic culture in institutions in France (this alone is worth the price of admission) and the second is a comprehensive bibliography of French philosophy in English translation. In the first appendix on French culture (which should really be the introduction), Schrift provides a wonderful look into the halls of the Sorbonne and other key institutions in France, with a special emphasis on the levels of philosophical formation in France. This enables him, in the biographies, to trace the genealogy of French philosophy in an illuminating way. (A graphic presentation of this in a family-tree kind of diagram would be an excellent online supplement to the book.) This book should be a required textbook in every course in Continental philosophy.--CHOICETwentieth-Century French Philosophy: Key Themes and Thinkers Overview
