Philippe Sollers (French: [s?l??s]; born Philippe Joyaux 28 November 1936, Bordeaux, France) is a French writer and critic.
In 1960 he founded the avant garde journal Tel Quel (along with the writer and art critic Marcelin Pleynet), published by Seuil, which ran until 1982.
In 1982 Sollers created the journal L'Infini published by Denoel which was later published under the same title by Gallimard for whom Sollers also edits the series. Sollers was at the heart of the intense period of intellectual unrest in the Paris of the 1960s and 1970s.
Among others, he was a friend of Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, Louis Althusser, and Roland Barthes.
These latter three characters are described in his novel, Femmes (1983) alongside a number of other figures of the French intellectual movement before and after May 1968.
From A Strange Solitude, The Park and Event, through "Logiques", Lois and Paradis, down to Watteau in Venice, Une vie divine and "La Guerre du goût", the writings of Sollers have sparked argumentation, provocation and challenge. In his book Writer Sollers, Roland Barthes discusses the work of Philippe Sollers and the meaning of language. Sollers married Julia Kristeva in 1967.
