Jean-Pierre Faye

Jean-Pierre Faye (born 19 July 1925) is a French philosopher and writer of fiction and prose poetry.

He was member of the editing committee of the avant-garde literary review Tel Quel,[1] and later of Change.

With Jacques Derrida and others, he authored the "Blue Report" (French: Le rapport bleu), which led to the Collège international de philosophie, an open university, in 1983.

He soon turned against deconstructionism and postmodernism, as he reflected in Langages totalitaires 2: la raison narrative (1995).

His essays, including Théorie du récit and Langages Totalitaires, remain influential studies of the use and abuse of language by totalitarian states and ideologies.
