About

My research focuses on current forms of speculative philosophy, on event theories, and on the relations between pragmatism and French philosophy.I have devoted several works to Whitehead’s thought, among which Un empirisme spéculatif (Vrin, 2006), Le vocabulaire de Whitehead (Ellipses, 2007) and L’appât des possibles (Presses du réel, 2015). I have edited several books notably on pragmatism, (Vie et expérimentation, Vrin, 2007), on contemporary metaphysics (Philosophie des possessions, Presses du réel, 2011), and on activations of speculative thought (with I. Stengers, Gestes spéculatifs, Presses du réel, 2015). I have written several articles on the philosophies of Bergson, Tarde, Simondon, Deleuze and Whitehead. I am currently working on a new book entitled Pragmatics of the Earth.
