Symposium in honor to Dominique Lecourt Philosophy of science at the risk of freedom

A student of Georges Canguilhem and Louis Althusser, Dominique Lecourt was a key figure in the establishment of the history and philosophy of science in France and abroad between 1970 and 1990. He was instrumental in introducing history, philosophy and the humanities into science and medicine curricula, and strongly promoted interdisciplinarity. He was also an original thinker, reflecting on the work of Diderot, historical epistemology, the relationship between science and politics, the philosophy of medicine and transhumanism. Together with Jacques Derrida, he founded the Collège International de Philosophie. He also played a leading role at the Université Paris VII-Denis Diderot, where he founded the Centre Georges Canguilhem and helped to found the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, the Centre d’Etudes du Vivant (in support of Pierre Fédida) and the Institut de la Pensée Contemporaine. Last but not least, he was an admired teacher. Dominique Lecourt passed away in 2022. This symposium will bring together, alternating between personal accounts and scientific contributions, many people who accompanied or extended his work.
