Content
This unit introduces key thinkers in twentieth-century French philosophy including Camus, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Althusser and Foucault. Our study explores the important themes of freedom and subjectivity. To what extent am I free to make my own life and choose my own identity? Do my relations with others set limits on my freedom? Is my individuality constrained by social and political forces - or is it perhaps even illusory?
