For Elisabeth Roudinesco, a historian of psychoanalysis and one of France's leading intellectuals, Canguilhem, Sartre, Foucault, Althusser, Deleuze, and Derrida represent a "great generation" of French philosophers who accomplished remarkable work and lived incredible lives. These troubled and innovative thinkers endured the turmoil of World War II and the cultural and political revolution of the sixties, and their cultural horizon was dominated by Marxism and psychoanalysis, though they were by no means strict adherents to the doctrines of Marx and Freud. Elisabeth Roudinesco knew many of these intellectuals personally, and she weaves an account of their thought through their individual life stories and her own reminiscences. Canguilhem, for example, was a distinguished philosopher of science who had a great influence on Foucault's exploration of the theme of sanity and madness-a theme which Althusser lived out in a notorious personal drama. And in dramatizing the life of Freud for the screen, Roudinesco shows that Sartre fundamentally altered his own philosophical approach to psychoanalysis.

"Elisabeth Roudinesco presents a fresh and unique view of some of the fundamental books of twentieth-century philosophy, showing the way in which ideas are indebted to contemporary political and biographical events, but also the way in which ideas contribute to shape those events." -- Angelica Nuzzo, Brooklyn College
