Pierre A. Riffard

French philosopher

In the history of thought, Pierre A. Riffard is one of the names that keeps being returned to.

The record lists Pierre A. Riffard as French philosopher.

Pierre A. Riffard was born at Toulouse in 1946. 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.

The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.

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