Study Day
IHPST, 13 rue du Four, 75006 Paris
Louis Rougier (1889-1982) is one of the great French epistemologists of the inter-war period. He was close to the Vienna Circle, the only French member of the Movement for the Unity of Science which succeeded him, organizer in Paris in 1938 of the Lippmann Symposium (considered as the birth certificate of neo-liberalism) : however, the work of this controversial figure remains largely unknown. This study day, which is an extension of the international symposium devoted to him in Geneva in October 2004, proposes to clarify various aspects of his thought, by examining in particular his relationships with some of his colleagues. his contemporaries (Boll, Destouches, Allais). It will also complement our knowledge of the French academic world before and after the Second World War.
