FRANTZ FANON was profoundly influenced by Karl Marx. Yet, to say this is to say very little. Most men who engage in serious social thought, particularly radical social thought, are influenced by the writings of Karl Marx. Fanon as a revolutionary social theorist is no exception; in fact, he is brilliant example. But Fanon as a philosopher was also influenced by Jean Paul Sartre and the existentialists and by Edmund Husserl and the phenomenology movement. As a Black man he was tremendously inspired in his thinking by Aimé Césaire and Léon Damas of the Négritude literary movement. And, of course, as a trained psychiatrist, he is heavily indebted to Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, particularly in terms of the methods and purposes of psychoanalysis.
