- François Châtelet
François Châtelet (1925–1985) was a historian of
philosophy ,political philosophy and professor in the socratic tradition. He was the husband of philosopherNoëlle Châtelet , the sister ofLionel Jospin .Starting with
Michel Foucault andGilles Deleuze in the department of philosophy at the University ofVincennes and co-founder of theCollège international de philosophie (International College of Philosophy), he has always been concerned with linking thought and action in restless combat with his contemporaries.His conception of philosophy makes him more of a historian of philosophy than a philosopher. In his work "une histoire de la raison" (A History of Reason), he shows the role of philosophy in the constitution of modern Western rationality. His work "Platon" (
Plato ) is a formidable invitation-initiation to the thought of the ancient Greek philosopher.Works
