Soldiers of God in a Secular World
In recent decades, France has figured prominently in international debates on secularism (laïcité) and religion, for instance with respect to its ban on religious iconography in public schools. Following the legal separation of church and state in 1905, this once predominantly Catholic country became increasingly irreligious over the course of the twentieth century. At present, French Republicanism itself is a strident secular belief that tends t…
Between Marx and Coca-Cola
In the 1960s and 1970s, Western Europe's "Golden Age" (Eric Hobsbawm), a new youth consciousness emerged, which gave this period its distinctive character. Offering rich and new material, this volume moves beyond the easy conflation of youth culture and "Americanization" and instead sets out to show, for the first time, how international developments fused with national traditions to produce specific youth cultures that became the leading trendse…
Legacies of 1968
Fifty years ago at Nanterre University outside of Paris, students with diverse commitments gathered and formed the March 22nd Movement. They were upset about a number of different issues: the repre

Of Partisans and Paranoid Experts
Beginning in the 1970s, terrorism became an object of contested expert knowledge. Fears over this moralized and loosely defined phenomenon emerged at the very moment that Western states achieved a certain monopoly over legitimate political violence. This politico-epistemological framing itself drew on postwar counterinsurgency doctrine (COIN) that had enabled a shift from the figure of the allied partisan to the unconscionable terrorist. Terroris…
Nature and the Irruptive Violence of History
Historical thinking has long defined itself in part through opposition to the natural, in spite of periodic critical efforts to bridge the gap. Deeper in Western traditions of historical reflection are traces of modes of thought through which the distance between human history and nature writ large tends to collapse. Two thinkers not often placed in dialogue—Michel Foucault and Walter Benjamin—both unearthed aspects of this subterranean current. …

In Nostris Extremis (Terror and Fanaticism in the Western Mind)
The abolitionist John Brown. Freedom fighter? Terrorist? The choice is unsatisfying for any number of reasons, least of all for the anachronistic nomenclature and the moral obviousness of his cause. Of course Brown was right, we can easily say, to take up the fight against that “peculiar institution” of barbarous slavery. Insofar as the federal government stood in the way of historical progress, perhaps he also was justified in striking the arsen…
Edward Baring. The Young Derrida and French Philosophy, 1945-1968
Edward Baring's rich reconstruction of Jacques Derrida's early career in the context of postwar French thought presents a young thinker engaged with the currents of his day, who went to school and taught in particular institutions, and who built upon his adolescent impulses en route to his own unique, mature positions. Rejecting a prevalent judgment that Derrida the Sephardic émigré always drew on Jewish traditions, Baring reveals another surpris…

From Revolution to Ethics
The Red Guards of Paris
This article examines how Maoist theory and practice were imported to France during the 1960s. A syncretic phenomenon, as notions developed in the Chinese cultural context were adapted to the very different Gallic situation, French Maoism proved to be especially influential among students at the École normale supérieure at the rue d’Ulm in Paris, where the Marxist theoretician, Louis Althusser, was teaching. Maoist philosophy facilitated critique…

Les contributions accidentelles du marxisme au renouveau des droits de l'homme en France dans l'après-68
The years following May 1968 witnessed the end of a certain chapter of French Marxism and a return to the languages of human rights and liberalism. French Marxism itself unintentionally contributed to this development. This article examines three overlapping cases from the 1970s : Maoism and mobilization around prisons, the women’s movement and the law, and the New Philosophers’ undermining of a dialectical view of history
A Modernist Catholic? Edouard Le Roy’s Dual Critique of Scientism and Neo-Scholasticism
The Rhetoric of Modal Equivocacy in Cartesian Transubstantiation
René Descartes's attempt to explain Eucharistic transubstantiation has long been understood as a dramatically significant moment in his tightrope walk across the medieval-to-modern divide. 2 Modeled on the Last Supper in the New Testament, the Eucharistic rite had been explained in the Catholic tradition after the twelfth century in the scholastic philosophical language of substance and accident. 3 As the Council of Trent reaffirmed in 1551, this…
