Biography
François Jullien, philosopher and sinologist, teaches at Paris University VII. He is Director of the Centre Marcel Granet and of the Institutes de la Pensée Contemporaine, and former President of the Collège International de Philosophie. François Jullien is most likely the first Western philosopher to have ever undertaken thoroughgoing study and research in Chinese thought. Among others, his work also attempts to deconstruct European traditions of thought from the vantage points of Chinese thinking. Several of Jullien’s books are in German translation.
