ABOUT ME

Making philosophy
a living experience.

My name is Laurence Bouchet. After 25 years teaching philosophy, one conviction became clear to me: it cannot stay confined to a classroom.

Laurence Bouchet · Practical philosopher

Since 2013, I’ve chosen to practise philosophy out in the community.

I run workshops in a wide range of settings: schools, secondary schools, prisons, libraries, businesses and public spaces. In businesses, these workshops help develop critical thinking, creativity and the quality of dialogue.

I also offer individual philosophical consultations to clarify an existential question, gain perspective on a decision, or examine what keeps us stuck in a difficulty.

A PRACTICE

Helping people think,
rather than thinking for them.

THE PHILOMOBILE

Philosophy
beyond the walls.

I created the Philomobile, a van converted into a space for dialogue, to practise philosophy in public spaces with anyone willing to take part.

With a team, we drove across France all the way to Morocco, meeting high school students, university students, associations and passers-by along the way.
