Timeline

1920

Jules Vuillemin (15 February 1920 – 16 January 2001) was a French philosopher, Professor of Philosophy of Knowledge at the prestigious Collège de France, in Paris, from 1962 to 1990, succeeding Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Professor emeritus from 1991 to 2001.

1943

After studying at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, he completed his agrégation in 1943, being received premier ex aequo alongside Tran Duc Thao.

A student of French historical epistemologists Gaston Bachelard and Jean Cavaillès, he was however at first influenced by phenomenology and existentialism, before shifting towards study of logics and science.

1962

In 1962, he published a book titled The Philosophy of Algebra, dedicated to mathematician Pierre Samuel (a member of the Bourbaki group), René Thom, physicist Raymond Siestrunck, and linguist Georges Vallet.

Vuillemin thought that renewals of methods in mathematics have influenced philosophy, thus relating the discovery of irrational numbers to Platonism, algebraic geometry to Cartesianism, infinitesimal calculus to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

Furthermore, he observed that philosophy had not yet taken into account the changes brought to mathematics by Joseph Louis Lagrange and Évariste Galois.

1968

He was an Invited Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, New Jersey (1968).

At the Collège de France, Vuillemin introduced analytical philosophy to France.

Vuillemin’s thought had a major influence on Jacques Bouveresse's works.

Vuillemin himself vindicated the legacy of Martial Gueroult.

A friend of Michel Foucault, he supported his election at the Collège de France, and was also close to Michel Serres.

In 1968, he co-founded with Gilles-Gaston Granger the journal L’Âge de la Science.

He was one of the main French commentators on the philosophy and works of Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rudolf Carnap and Willard Van Orman Quine.

Vuillemin also took an interest in aesthetics, beside writing several books on Kant, Anselm and on Diodorus's master argument (see problem of future contingents).

The Jules Vuillemin's Archives are located in France at the Laboratoire d'Histoire des Sciences et de Philosophie - Archives Henri Poincaré.

2016

Gilles-Gaston Granger was, until his death in 2016, the president of the scientific committee of Jules Vuillemin's Archives.
