Draft:Jean-Luc Beauchard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Plausibly notable - what you have to do is show that either he himself meets the guidelines (see links in the automated decline message), or that both of his books pass WP:NBOOK. The easiest way to do the latter is to show that each book received multiple substantial academic reviews. If you can't find this yet (because these books are quite recent), I suggest hanging onto this draft. It might be WP:TOOSOON for now, but he's very likely to become notable if he keeps publishing. asilvering (talk) 18:48, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Early Life[edit]

Jean-Luc Beauchard was born to French immigrants and was raised by his aunt from ten to sixteen.[2]

Career[edit]

Beauchard published his first book, The Mask of Memnon, in 2022. It has been described as a work of "literary theory, philosophy, theology, [and] literary analysis"[3] Throughout the book, Beauchard discusses the concept of meaninglessness in relation to aesthetics—specifically the novel. He does this through a discussion on Roland Barthes' theory on the death of the author from the perspective of the character.[4]

In his most recent book, City of Man, Beauchard offers an unorthodox interpretation of Plato's Republic that takes into account thinkers of modernity, such as Nietzsche or Freud.[5]

Beauchard's upcoming book Philosophical Fragments on Human Sexuality is forthcoming with Senex Press.[6]
