Důkladný, byť záměrně nikoli vyčerpávající vhled do současné francouzské filosofie představuje myšlení sedmi autorů – Jeana-Luca Mariona, Jeana-Luca Nancyho, Bernarda Stieglera, Catherine Malabouové, Jacquesa Rancièra, Alaina Badioua a Françoise Laruella –, které spojuje vymezení se vůči poststrukturalistické generaci a lingvistickému paradigmatu, orientace na vědy o životě a materialistické myšlení. Všichni tito filosofové vycházejí z předpokladu, že destrukce či dekonstrukce metafyziky, subjektivity či tradičních pojetí bytí, pravdy a vědění je nutné (a nedokončené), ne však dostatečné gesto umožňující vyrovnat se s tím, co se od současného myšlení žádá. Subjektivitu, ontologii, pravdu, epistemologii, stejně jako problémy univerzálnosti, etiky a politiky je podle nich třeba myslet znovu od začátku, a to spíše afirmativním a konstruktivním než dekonstruktivním způsobem.
