Franse filosofen hebben gedurende de hele twintigste eeuw een groot stempel gedrukt op de Europese en Amerikaanse cultuur. Niet alleen als academische denkers, maar ook als publieke figuren die de journalistiek en literatuur gebruikten om hun inzichten op een toegankelijke manier een brede verspreiding te geven. Jean-Paul Sartre, misschien wel de intellectueel van de 20e eeuw, was daar het bekendste voorbeeld van, maar ook Albert Camus, Raymond Aron, Michel Foucault en de van oorsprong Bulgaarse Tzvetan Todorov wisten de geest van de tijd niet alleen te verwoorden maar ook vorm te geven.

In deze collegeserie laat Ger Groot zien welke filosofische ideeën de mens gevormd hebben tot het wezen dat hij nu is. In veel muziekwerken resoneren filosofische gedachten mee die deze ontwikkeling illustreren.
