Luc Ferry

Luc Ferry (born January 1, 1951 in Colombes ) was France's Minister of Education from 2002 to 2004 .

Ferry studied philosophy at the Sorbonne , wrote his doctoral thesis on Johann Gottlieb Fichte and became a professor. In his work Le nouvel ordre écologique, l'arbre, l'animal et l'homme , he appeared as a staunch critic of the French Greens and the “spirit of 68”.

To this day he regularly publishes popular science political and philosophical non-fiction books. Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin brought Ferry into his right-wing cabinet on May 7, 2002, which was unusual in that Ferry, unlike most ministers, had not been to an elite university. The most important measure of his term of office was an action plan against the reading and spelling weaknesses among the French youth. On March 31, 2004, he was replaced in his office by François Fillon .

Ferry is married to Marie-Caroline Becq and has three children.
