Société française de philosophie

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Société française de philosophie (SFP) is a French learned society . The company, founded in 1901 by André Lalande and Xavier Léon , was originally intended to develop a philosophical vocabulary that could keep pace with the rapid change in positive sciences around the turn of the century.

The society has 180 members, who are supplemented by co-optation . It publishes the Bulletin de la société française de philosophie.

The Société quickly developed into an internationally recognized place of republican philosophy, where a wide variety of views could be presented discursively. This early period included discussions about Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Auguste Comte , discussions with sociologists about Emil Durkheim, such as a 1922 discussion with Albert Einstein , Paul Langevin , Henri Bergson , Edouard LeRoy and Émile Meyerson about the theory of relativity.

Once every three months, the Society invites a selected scientist to give a lecture at the Sorbonne . Well-known lectures that resulted from this are, for example, Jean-Paul Sartre's Consciousness and Self-Knowledge , Louis Althusser's Lenin and Philosophy , Michel Foucault's lecture What is an Author? or Jacques Derridas The Différance .
