INTRODUCTION Luc Ferry and Alain Renaut argue that "the philosophy of 68" eliminates and leaves no room for a positive rehabilitation of human agency necessary for a workable notion of democracy. In their preface to the English translation of La pensee 68, Ferry and Renaut (1990: xvi), refer to the philosophy of the 1960s as a Nietzschean-Heideggerian antihumanism that is structurally incapable of taking up the promises of the democratic project inherent in modernity. Their criticisms are specifically aimed at Jacques Derrida and are intended as a path back to a form of humanism, liberalism, and individualism (the doctrine of human rights) that they think can sustain a notion of political agency required for democracy
