François Jullien

Contemporary (b. 1951)

François Jullien (born 1951) is a French philosopher, sinologist, and comparative thinker who has dedicated his career to creating a productive distance between Chinese and European thought. He served as professor at Paris Diderot University and chair of Alterity at the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme. His work systematically deploys Chinese thought as a 'detour' to defamiliarize and reinterrogate Western philosophical categories.
