- Collège philosophique
-
Collège philosophique was an association founded in 1946 by Jean Wahl, located in Paris' Latin Quarter.
Wahl created it feeling the lack of a place alternative to the Sorbonne (University of Paris), where it would be possible to give voice to non academic discourses; it became the place where the non-conformist intellectual - and those believing to be so - were tolerated and given consideration.[1]
It 1974, after Wahl's death, it inspired the foundation of the Collège de philosophie.

Notable conferences
On March 4th, 1963, it hosted the conference from which originated the rift between Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault. Derrida gave the lecture Cogito and the History of Madness,[2] a critique of Foucault, that likely also prompter Foucault to write his works The Order of Things (1966) and The Archaeology of Knowledge.[3]
