Marc Crépon (born 30 March 1962) is a French philosopher and academic who writes on the subject of languages and communities in the French and German philosophies and contemporary political and moral philosophy.[1] He has also translated works by philosophers such as Nietzsche, Franz Rosenzweig and Leibniz.[citation needed]

He is Professor of Philosophy at the Ecole Normale Superieure and director of research at the Archives Husserl, National Center for Scientific Research.[2]

Early life[]

He was born in Decize, Nievre in 1962. After high school, Crépon completed a preparatory course at Lycee Condorcet in Paris.[3] He then attended the Ecole Normale Superieure and passed the agrégation in 1986, a French civil service exam for positions in public education.[citation needed]

The topic of his dissertation (written in French) was The problem of human diversity: survey on the characterization of the people and the constitution of geographies of spirit from Leibniz to Hegel (1995).[4]

Career[]

Crépon's first academic position was teaching philosophy at Nanterre University. Shortly after this, he moved to Moldova for a period and credits living and working in the USSR with developing many of his attitudes and pedagogical methods.[3] At this time, he also developed an interest in the relationship between political and linguistic communities, which he would go on to research in greater detail.[5]

He has traveled and lectured at American universities, including University of California, Irvine[6] and Rice University.[7] Crépon also taught classes while in residence at Northwestern University in Chicago in 2006 and in 2008.[8]
