The French Theory

The French Theory refers to a group of influential ideas from French philosophers and thinkers, mainly from the mid-20th century, such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Paul Sartre. These thinkers explore how language, power, and society shape our understanding of reality, identity, and knowledge. Their work often challenges traditional beliefs, emphasizing that meaning is complex, context-dependent, and constructed through social and historical processes. French Theory has significantly impacted fields like literary criticism, sociology, and cultural studies by encouraging critical thinking about authority, truth, and the way societies function.
