Isi artikel

Crippled by World War II, France had to find a new lease on life in order to remain the bearer of the universal values stemming from the French Revolution. Working within the New History Movement (Nouvelle Histoire), which combines approaches of anthropology, sociology, and psychoanalysis, this article poses two basic questions: What is a contemporary French person and can we outline his thought? The twentieth century in France is without doubt the century of Jean-Paul Sartre, who is not only famous for his writings but also for his social activism. For his compatriots and for foreign observers, Sartre typifies a particular French behavior that is committed, combative, and highly cultured. However, it is not possible to simply equate the French mind with Sartre thought; a darker, older yet hardly identifiable thought continues to coexist with it. Over the past decades, numerous opinion polls have regularly portrayed the French as the West's most depressed and pessimistic people. To understand this existential in awkwardness, we must turn to Sigmund Freud's path-breaking developments in psychoanalysis. Using Freud's thought to enlighten Sartre's allows us to find an area of convergence that could be defined as angst or as the dialectic of the death drive and life drive. Can the French mind be defined by Sartre's existentialist commitment and Freud's psychoanalysis? I will address this question in two steps. First, i will analyze how Sartre personifies the French mind. I will then consider France's identity crisis, and develop the concept of a humanist ego, "a Sartrian ego freed from the Freudian ego"
