Abstract

This article seeks to draw attention to the work of Brice Parain, an under-examined figure in mid-twentieth-century French philosophy. It considers Parain's most influential work, Recherches sur la nature et les fonctions du langage (1942), through the lens of his contemporaries: the critical essays of Sartre and Camus, and the film representations of Godard and Rohmer. Parain's focus on the paradoxes of language, and on the ethical problem of lying, anticipate later criticisms of Sartrean existentialism, and his humanistic and historically sensitive approach to philosophizing render his a unique and powerful voice in modern intellectual life.

摘要

本文旨在引起人们对布里斯·帕拉因（Brice Parain）作品的关注，布莱斯·帕拉因（Brice Parain）是20世纪中叶法国哲学界未经审查的人物。它通过他的同时代人的眼光看待帕拉因最有影响力的作品《自然与语言的反击》（1942年）：萨特和加缪的批判性论文，以及戈达德和罗默的电影作品。帕拉因对语言悖论的关注以及对撒谎的道德问题的关注，预计会在以后对萨特存在主义进行批判，他对哲学的人文主义和历史敏感的方法使其在现代知识生活中具有独特而强大的声音。
