Talk:French philosophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There needs to be more detail in the french philosphy section

To justify even having this page, currently just a link page to real research, there should be more explanation of which century of French philosophy to look into. That is, there should be more detail concerning the specific philosophers and philosophies in the different centuries on this main page, the nineteenth century in particular.

Also, it's a pity that there is no page dedicated specifically to French Philosophy in this time. The pages this links to discuss Western philosophy in general, with a focus on Europe. Nothing focuses on France.

[edit] Major Rewrite

I felt a major rewrite was in dire need of as the article practically lacked content. My method was to write little summaries of the time periods followed by summaries of their major thinkers, as I believe this gives the best overview of French philosophy. The sections on Structuralism and Phenomenology may need some work, some references need clearing and some references need adding, but I believe this is a decent start.

I've improved the section on Phenomenology, but the section on Structuralism still needs a little work. Le vin blanc 19:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
