Michel Guiomar belongs to the philosophical record as a figure whose arguments outlasted the disputes that prompted them.
The record lists Michel Guiomar as French philosopher (1921–2013).
Michel Guiomar was born at Landerneau in 1921. His recorded nationality is France.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
Philosophy advances by objection: an argument matters if serious people spend years attacking it.
That the work was done from France matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Michel Guiomar died in 2013, aged 92. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
