Biography
Raphaël Enthoven turns philosophy into a tool for understanding the contemporary world.
Thinking for everyone
A former student of the École normale supérieure (ENS) and agrégé in philosophy, Raphaël Enthoven has taught at Sciences Po, École Polytechnique and university, among other institutions. His conviction is simple: philosophy should not remain confined to the classroom. Through radio, television, books and talks, he has worked for more than twenty years to make the great thinkers accessible to all.
Philosophy in the present tense
Work, trust, technology, freedom, ethics, information: Raphaël Enthoven uses philosophy to shed light on the dilemmas of our time. His aim is not to provide ready-made answers, but to teach us to question the questions themselves.
Human intelligence in the age of AI
In L’Esprit artificiel – Une machine ne sera jamais philosophe, Raphaël Enthoven explores a question that has become central: is a machine capable of producing answers therefore capable of thinking? For him, doubt, wonder, contradiction, lived memory and awareness of our own mortality remain at the heart of human intelligence. Artificial intelligence has thus become one of the main themes of his talks for companies and business leaders.
From Proust to pop culture
Raphaël Enthoven rejects the divide between high culture and popular culture. Since 2026, his programme Je pop donc je suis has explored philosophy, cinema, social media, artificial intelligence and nostalgia through contemporary culture. From October 2026, he will also bring Proust to the stage in the one-man show À la recherche de Marcel.
In a world where AI knows how to answer, knowing how to ask the right questions becomes essential.
