From the Inside Flap

"Like the foreign irritant that causes oysters to secrete pearls, Heidegger stimulated successive generations of French thinkers to produce some of their most creative ideas. Ethan Kleinberg painstakingly reconstructs the existentialist moment in that still unfolding story, providing lucid and persuasive accounts of the impact of Heideggers philosophy as inspiration and foil when it first crossed the Rhine.Generation Existential will be of interest not only to intellectual historians but also to anyone still grappling with the legacy of Sartre, Kojeve, Blanchot, and Levinas."—Martin Jay, Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor of History, University of California, Berkeley

From the Back Cover

"Like the foreign irritant that causes oysters to secrete pearls, Heidegger stimulated successive generations of French thinkers to produce some of their most creative ideas. Ethan Kleinberg painstakingly reconstructs the existentialist moment in that still unfolding story, providing lucid and persuasive accounts of the impact of Heidegger's philosophy as inspiration and foil when it first crossed the Rhine. Generation Existential will be of interest not only to intellectual historians but also to anyone still grappling with the legacy of Sartre, Kojève, Blanchot, and Levinas."--Martin Jay, Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor of History, University of California, Berkeley

"Ethan Kleinberg's study of the successive waves in the reception and rethinking of Heidegger in France covers a crucial chapter in modern French thought and contemporary critical theory. His lucid and careful exposition, which includes a discussion of the problems posed to French thinkers by National Socialism and the Shoah, provides a basis for an informed, critical reexamination of this important dimension of recent intellectual history. He also elucidates how responses to Heidegger have always been more or less intricate and coded responses to larger social, political, and ethical issues, including one's conception of the very foundation of a secular democracy."--Dominick LaCapra, Cornell University, author of History in Transit: Experience, Identity, Critical Theory

"Ethan Kleinberg has written an important book on Heidegger's French reception that spans the influence of the German philosopher on French thinkers from Alexandre Kojève to Maurice Blanchot. Kleinberg's systematic overview of this crucial chapter in the history of French existentialism and its broader impact explores the complex ways in which French philosophers appropriated Heidegger to counter the French postwar intellectual establishment and adapted him to address their own specific priorities. In demonstrating how Heidegger became not quite `French,' Kleinberg illuminates several recent debates on a wide variety of topics, including French debate over Heidegger's Nazism."--Carolyn J. Dean, Brown University, author of The Fragility of Empathy after the Holocaust
