After distancing himself from the latter [1], he became co-producer of the radio show Les vendredis de la philosophie on France Culture. Previously lecturing political philosophy at the Sciences Po, (2000 - 2003, 2005 - 2007) and at the Ecole Polytechnique ( 2007 - 2010), he currently teaches courses on Spinoza, Bergson and Clément Rosset on "Tuesdays philosophy" and the Bibliothèque nationale de France on the meaning of life. Since 2013, he also teaches philosophy to first and second year high-school students at the École Jeannine Manuel, a private bilingual high-school.^[1]
