Showing the significance of the ethical theme to thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari, among others, Bourg provides a compelling picture of how May 1968 helped make ethics a compass for navigating contemporary global experience."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Vendor-supplied metadata Subject Social change -- France -- History -- 20th century Social ethics -- France -- History -- 20th century Philosophy, French -- 20th century.
