Geneviève Fraisse

French philosopher

Geneviève Fraisse is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Geneviève Fraisse as French philosopher.

Geneviève Fraisse was born at Paris in 1948. Her recorded nationality is France. She studied at Faculty of Arts of Paris and School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences.

Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.

Her academic posts were held at Rutgers University, Sciences Po and National Center for Scientific Research.

The recorded fields of work are late modern period, philosophy and feminist philosophy.

A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

That the work was done from France matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
