André A. Devaux is a distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne, renowned for his expertise in 20th-century French philosophy and the history of science. Trained under Ferdinand Alquié and René Le Senne, he has edited the Complete Works of Simone Weil and contributed significantly to the study of thinkers like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Henri Bergson. His research spans philosophy of science, digital humanities, and the critical study of ignorance (agnotology).
Devaux's career includes extensive involvement with academic institutions: he coordinated conferences from 2002-2023, led seminars on science history and philosophical methodology, and established the Digit_Hum initiative for digital scholarly practices. His life archives (372 boxes) are preserved at CAPHÉS, containing materials from his decades of research on figures like Canguilhem and Foucault.
Recent work focuses on intersections between technology and traditional scholarship, including digital humanities applications and the philosophical examination of scientific knowledge production. His contributions to the History of Science journal and collaborative projects demonstrate commitment to interdisciplinary research.
