Jules Vuillemin

Jules Vuillemin was a French philosopher who did most of his best philosophizing from the 1960s onward. Jules was first interested in phenomenology and existentialism. Then he got into logic and science. Then he died.

According to Wikipedia, "Vuillemin himself vindicated the legacy of Martial Gueroult." Thank god for that. You'd think Martial Gueroult's legacy would've been permanently tarnished after what happened to him. But, in the world of French philosophy, one can always be reinvented.

I think each one of us has times when we wish we could be reinvented.
