Depassements de la metaphysique

Abstract

The author analyses both the figures of the overcoming of metaphysics that existed in the XXth century: after starting from a strong criticism against metaphysics, of a positivist inspiration, phenomenology has tended to become a new kind of metaphysics, and then, as such, suffered the criticism of the newborn Analytic philosophy. The question is: what can be preserved now from both traditions, i.e. the phenomenological and the Analytic, in terms of a criticism of metaphysics?
