Jacques Ranciere b. 1940
Jacques Ranciere (born 1940) is a French philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Continental Philosophy, Marxism, and Political Philosophy.
Jacques Ranciere is a French philosopher, a former pupil of Althusser who broke decisively with his master in his collaboration with workers' archives in the 1970s. The Ignorant Schoolmaster recounted the story of the eighteenth-century pedagogue Joseph Jacotot to advance the radical thesis of intellectual equality as a starting point rather than an outcome of education. Disagreement and The Politics of Aesthetics developed his account of politics as the disruption of the established distribution of the sensible by those who have no part in it, and have made him one of the most read political philosophers of our time.
