>Levi-Strauss
>Althusser
>Badiou
>Fanon(depending on what you mean by "french")
Most french lit written around the scientific revolution and/or the enlightenment isn't worth reading. Pascal is the exception here. Montaigne is overrated as fuck, and is only popular today because he anticipated post-structuralism by 400 years. Rabelais is baby boomer bullshit with "b urself" morals.

I read 120 days of Sodom, and it's very confusing. What was Sade trying to convey?

>>7562354
>Foucault
>Derrida
>Deleuze
Shittiest french philosophy ever.
>>7562783
Not shitty, but simply dangerous due to their inherent nihilistic element. It's due to this element that the IDF is actually able to utilize Deleuze's writings for coming up with new warfare strategies.
