Abstract
The Austrian writer Jean Amery (1912–1978) was one of the earliest skeptical observers of contemporary trends in French philosophy in the 20th century. His essays can be considered both a dialogue with existentialism and an attempt to create a phenomenology of the existence of the victim after Auschwitz. In contrast to structuralism in general and namely directed against Michel Foucault, Amery insisted on the freedom of the subject and its particular experience. In this paper, I examine Amery's criticism of Foucault's early thinking and connect Foucault's later conception of the subject with Amery's reflections on philosophical criticism.
