Praise for this book

This book provides an excellent introduction to the major French phenomenologists of the 20th century by a preeminent thinker of the younger generation of French philosophers, personally acquainted with many of them. Falque not only gives a lucid introduction to his predecessors, but brings a unique critical perspective to their work and puts them into productive conversation with each other.
In a time when philosophy is too often oriented toward the conversion of the other, Emmanuel Falque invites us to see genuine philosophy as a conversation with others such that we might be transformed ourselves. Modeling how criticism is a form of care, Falque opens French phenomenology to itself and opens us up to it.
It serves as a useful companion
