Gauchet is one of France's most prominent contemporary intellectuals. He has written widely on such issues as the political consequences of modern individualism, the relation between religion and democracy, and the dilemmas of globalisation.
To date, only two of Gauchet's books have been translated into English, most notably The Disenchantment of the World: A Political History of Religion.
Gauchet was awarded the Prix européen de l'essai, fondation Charles Veillon in 2018[3]
