Who is François Dosse?
Born in 1950 in Paris, Dosse is a historian and epistemologist specializing in intellectual history. He studied history and sociology at the University of Vincennes-Paris VIII, completing his doctorate in the field of theory of history and historiography, with a focus on the Annales School. After passing the agrégation exam, he taught philosophy in high schools in Pontoise and Boulogne-Billancourt. He was a maître de conférences at the Institute of Teacher Training (IUFM) in Versailles and Nanterre. As a professor emeritus, he teaches contemporary history at the University Paris XII and has been an associate researcher at the Institute of Contemporary History (IHTP-Paris VIII) since 1998.
As a researcher, Dosse is primarily dedicated to studies in the field of intellectual history, with an emphasis on historiography and structuralism. His work includes a series of biographies of prominent French philosophers and historians, such as Paul Ricœur, Michel de Certeau, Gilles Deleuze, and Félix Guattari. His two-volume “History of Structuralism” (1991 and 1992) was groundbreaking. Dosse is also a co-founder of the journal EspacesTemps. In 2019, he was awarded the Eugène-Colas Prize by the French Academy for his work on “The Saga of French Intellectuals 1944-1989.”
