Read through the lens of a single key concept in twentieth-century French philosophy, that of the problem, this book relates the concept to specific thinkers and situates it in relation both to the wider history of philosophy and contemporary concerns.



How exactly should the notion of problems be understood? What must a problem be in order to play an inaugurating role in thought? Does the word problem have a univocal sense? What is at stake - theoretically, ethically, politically, and institutionally - when philosophers use the word? This book addresses these and other questions, and is devoted to making historical and philosophical sense of the various uses and conceptualisations of notions of problems, problematics, and problematisations in twentieth-century French thought. In the process, it augments our understanding of the philosophical programs of a number of recent French thinkers, reconfigures our perception of the history and wider stakes of twentieth-century French philosophy, and reveals the ongoing theoretical richness and critical potential of the notion of the problem and its cognates.
