Abstract
It would be hard to underestimate the impact that Heidegger’s thought has had on twentieth-century French philosophy. Heidegger influenced a wide range of philosophical movements, and, after him, French thought has to a large extent constituted itself in dialogue with his thought, whether by embracing it, rejecting it, or misunderstanding it. The French reception of Heidegger has been everything but passive; it has given rise to all kinds of interpretations, appropriations, or misappropriations, not to mention misunderstandings, even if these were brilliant and inventive, as in the case of Sartre. This chapter explores the forms that this reception has taken in the work of Sartre, Levinas, and Derrida.
