Maurice Patronnier de Gandillac (born February 14, 1906 in Koléa , Algiers department , † April 20, 2006 in Neuilly-sur-Seine , Hauts-de-Seine department ) was a French philosopher , university professor and translator.
Life
Gandillac came from an aristocratic family whose ancestral home is in Périgord . He attended the Préparatoire des Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris with Jean-Paul Sartre , Paul Nizan and Maurice Merleau-Ponty . He was also a fellow student of Sartre and Nizan at the École normal supérieure , where he studied lettres classiques ( classical languages , literature, philosophy) and German. He wrote his thesis on the Renaissance philosopher Nikolaus von Kues . After receiving the license to teach higher schools ( agrégation ) , he first taught philosophy at the Lycée Pasteur in Neuilly-sur-Seine . He then worked from 1946 to 1977 as a professor of philosophy at the Sorbonne , where he taught, among others, Louis Althusser , Jean-François Lyotard , Gilles Deleuze , Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida .
plant
Gandillac wrote a broad philosophical work that included books on the Middle Ages , Dante , Cusanus, and the modern age . He provided important translations of the works of Hegel , Nietzsche , Lukac , Bloch and Benjamin into French . He was also co-editor of Nietzsche's complete works in France. Most of his articles were published in 1992 in the anthology Genèses de la modernité . Previously, in 1985, a commemorative publication was published in his honor under the title L'art des confins . His presentation of the philosophy of Nikolaus von Kues appeared in German translation in 1953. The philosopher Alois Dempf judged this work: "It is difficult to think of a better introduction to the Cusan spiritual world." However, Gandillac underestimated the influence of Meister Eckhart on Cusanus.
