Le Débat (with the addition: histoire, politique, société ) is a bi-monthly French intellectual magazine that was founded in 1980 at Gallimard by Pierre Nora (editor) and Marcel Gauchet (editor-in-chief). It has been named the most influential intellectual magazine in France in the late 20th century.
The first issue appeared on the day of Jean-Paul Sartre's funeral . The historian Pierre Nora announced that the magazine would take on a new "post-partisan" role for French intellectuals: Free from references to revolutionary politics, it would concentrate on reflexive judgment. According to Nora, Le Débat sold between 8,000 and 15,000 copies per issue in the 1980s. Co-editors were Raymond Aron , Georges Dumézil , François Jacob , Michel Foucault , Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie , François Furet and Jacques Le Goff .
The ISSN is 0246-2346.
