François Dagognet (1924-2015), philosopher

He came to the University of Dijon to study medicine and philosophy, then continued his studies in Paris where he encountered Bachelard, with whom he remained in contact. Without ever abandoning medicine, he became Professor of philosophy at the University of Lyon and then at Paris I (1986). With his double competence, this encyclopedic thinker was, in an era of specialization, an atypical figure. In 2004, the uB devoted a colloquium to him entitled F. Dagognet, médecin et philosophe.
