The Greeks as origine of the Western thought

and the contemporary ways of thinking in France

I would like to talk you about the appearance of the greek origine of wisdom at the sixth and fifth century in Greece.and the appearance of philosophy as a decadence of action in moral and abstract thought called metaphysic, with its system turned toward truth more than power and action (the fight according to Heraclitus and the fire zccording Empedocles). Nowadays this period before Socrates and Plato was connected with the contemporaray french period (1960-2000) with diffferent ways of thought (like coherence, emergence, excedence, difference, radical contingence, French hermeneutic or deconstruction, etc...).

The Greeks as origine of the Western thought (about wisdom and its decadence into philosophy and academic institution ).
Alain Badiou and the closed systems like dialectic or all the thought of subject turned to the truth, we also talk about transcendantal idealism or thought of Fold.
Gilles Deleuze and the open systems. It an inheritance of Spinoza and Henri Bergson systems. We talk about empiric idealism and also thought turned to the circumstances or thoughts of Unfold.

This two ways of thinking among few other one are thought inside metaphysic. We talk about tought of the inside.

By the French effervescence and boiling following may 68 and the creation of the department of philosophy of Vincennes (afterwads Paris 8) by Michel Foucault, we encountered diffrents ways of thinking, with Gilles Deleuze, Gilles Châtelet, Jean François Lyotard and Alain Badiou among other ones. We attend nowadays at the overcoming of the thought in system called by Michel Foucault and Maurice Blanchot, thought of the Outside. You can find it in the thought of Nietsche or in Quantics physics. It is un overcoming of spiritualism and materialism.
