With the presence of Jean-Marc Fontan and Sylvain Lefèvre, Professors and PhiLab managers.

Anaïs and Emmanuelle will present the thesis of Philippe Steiner’s book “Donner … une histoire de l’altruisme” (Giving… a history of altruism) (2016). David will present François Athané’s “Pour une histoire naturelle du don” (For a natural history of the donation) (2011). An exchange with the room will follow.

As this is the last academy seminar of the season, a light snack will be offered after the presentations. This will be an opportunity to review previous seminars and talk about next season!

These seminars depend on the “Academy” pole and are therefore reserved for research and student work. They constitute areas of development and of sharing of knowledge around specific themes and also allow for the production of text reviews.
