"Sure to provoke controversy, The Philosopher and His Poor is a virtuoso performance. I can't think of anyone who has pursued the populist premise - the intuition that in this or that situation the grounding of truth or value is to be located in those most dispossessed - with anything approaching Rancire's degree of articulateness or philosophical sophistication. I predict that this book will become a landmark." Bruce Robbins, author of Feeling Global: Internationalism in Distress " The Philosopher and His Poor is a remarkable work. Jacques Rancire demonstrates the recurrence throughout the history of western thought of a particular self-constituting move: the freedom and the right to think are premised upon a situating and excluding of those whose task is other than to think, what Rancire calls 'the poor.'"

Synopsis
What has philosophy to do with the poor? If, as has often been supposed, the poor have no time for philosophy, then why have philosophers always made time for them? Why is the history of philosophy--from Plato to Karl Marx to Jean-Paul Sartre to Pierre Bourdieu--the history of so many figures of the poor: plebes, men of iron, the demos, artisans, common people, proletarians, the masses? Why have philosophers made the shoemaker, in particular, a remarkably ubiquitous presence in this history? Does philosophy itself depend on this thinking about the poor? If so, can it ever refrain from thinking for them? Jacques Rancière's The Philosopher and His Poor meditates on these questions in close readings of major texts of Western thought in which the poor have played a leading role--sometimes as the objects of philosophical analysis, sometimes as illustrations of philosophical argument. Published in France in 1983 and made available here for the first time in English, this consummate study assesses the consequences for Marx, Sartre, and Bourdieu of Plato's admonition that workers should do "nothing else" than their own work. It offers innovative readings of these thinkers' struggles to elaborate a philosophy of the poor. Presenting a left critique of Bourdieu, the terms of which are largely unknown to an English-language readership, The Philosopher and His Poor remains remarkably timely twenty years after its initial publication., Rancière's account of Western philosophical thought from Plato to Bourdieu argues that philosophers depend on an ideal "poor" for their own analyses but preclude them from abstract thought., What has philosophy to do with the poor?
