André Lalande (philosopher)

André Lalande (19 July, 1867 Dijon – 15 November, 1964 Asnières) was a French philosopher. In 1904 he was appointed Professor of philosophy at the University of Paris.[1]

This article is about the French philosopher. For the French Army officer, see André Lalande.

Whilst still at school in 1883-4 he was taught by Émile Durkheim, who he greatly appreciated. His notes have provided the basis for the publication Durkheim's Philosophy Lectures: Notes from the Lycée de Sens Course, 1883–1884 in 2004.[2]

His doctoral thesis was entitled L'idée directrice de la dissolution opposée à celle de l'évolution.[1] In 1901 he was one of the founders of the French Philosophical Society. [3]
