Interviews with key French thinkers such as Françoise Dastur, Jacques Derrida, Éliane Escoubas, Jean Greisch, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Jean-Luc Marion, and Jean-Luc Nancy are included and provide further reflection on Heidegger's relationship to French philosophy.

Reviews for Heidegger in France
Janicaud shows himself to be a charming writer, and the English translation admirably conveys the clarity and deftness of his French prose into English. Indeed, one largely unsung quality of Janicaud's writings, be it this text or his more properly philosophical works, is his prose; combining clarity with wit, he is much more enjoyable to read than many of his contemporaries, and his translators are to be complemented for bringing those elements with them into the English translation.
The Heythrop Journal
In sum, this book is informed, interesting,well written, useful, and as accurate as it could have been for someone writing at a time when relevant documentation was being withheld by Heidegger's followers.
American Historical Review
Heidegger in France is a major contribution to the history of Continental philosophy and to French phenomenology. . . Essential.
Choice
Janicaud sheds light on the contemporary French philosophical scene and he has done this from an angle seldom seen by others. It is a lively story and reminds us that the life of ideas, the destiny of a thought, is an exciting matter.
