#Post-Kantian European philosophy has always involved a process of reflection upon and contestation of its own problematic status as an independent discipline. The constant setting and the overstepping of boundaries – conceptual and institutional – are the hallmark of its development. The writings in this volume – organized according to the institutional genres of the presentations within CRMEP from which they derive – revisit some of these encounters of #philosophy with #anthropology, #economy, #sociology and #psychoanalysis, respectively, in both the French and German traditions. Increasingly, thinkers such as Foucault and #Derrida – the bookends of this collection – appear as singular figures only within the broader, densely imbricated contexts from which they depart. Still figures of the future, constituting our philosophical present with new pasts.
