French philosophical movement

The French philosophical movement refers to a tradition of thinkers in France who explore fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, and values. From the 17th century's rationalism to 20th-century existentialism and post-structuralism, these philosophers analyze how humans understand the world, the nature of reality, and the role of language and culture. Notable figures like Descartes, Sartre, and Foucault have influenced ideas about reason, freedom, and power. This movement emphasizes critical thinking, self-awareness, and questioning assumptions, shaping modern perspectives on philosophy, politics, and society.
