Jacques Rancièreâs The Philosopher and His Poor meditates on these questions in close readings of major texts of Western thought in which the poor have played a leading roleâsometimes as the objects of philosophical analysis, sometimes as illustrations of philosophical argument. Published in France in 1983 and made available here for the first time in English, this consummate study assesses the consequences for Marx, Sartre, and Bourdieu of Platoâs admonition that workers should do ânothing elseâ than their own work. It offers innovative readings of these thinkersâ struggles to elaborate a philosophy of the poor. Presenting a left critique of Bourdieu, the terms of which are largely unknown to an English-language readership, The Philosopher and His Poor remains remarkably timely twenty years after its initial publication.
