Jean-Claude Monod, born on November 4, 1970, is a French filmmaker and philosopher.^[1][2][3]

Jean-Claude Monod, the son of ethnologist Jean Monod, is a former student of the École normale supérieure (class of 1991), a philosophy agrégé, and holds a doctorate in philosophy from Paris X University (2000).^[4]

In 1997, he was a member of the Mission to Study Nationality and Immigration Laws, led by Patrick Weil, whose report was submitted to Prime Minister Lionel Jospin.

He is a researcher at the Husserl Archives, affiliated with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), and teaches in the philosophy department at the ENS.

A specialist in contemporary German philosophy and political philosophy, he is one of the main introducers in France of the thought of German philosopher Hans Blumenberg and the broader debates surrounding the paradigm of secularization.

In 2013, he was awarded the CNRS bronze medal. That same year, he became co-director, along with Michaël Foessel, of the collection "L'ordre philosophique" at Seuil publishing.^[5]

In March 2017, he was invited to a lunch hosted by President François Hollande, alongside Olivier Dard, Nonna Mayer, Alexandre Dézé, and Nicolas Lebourg, to discuss the possibility of Marine Le Pen winning the 2017 presidential election.^[6]

For several years, he was a close associate of Jacques Bouveresse.^[7][8]

In addition, he has directed several short films and co-directed a medium-length film (43 minutes) with writer Jean-Christophe Valtat titled Augustine (2003), which was released in theaters in 2011. The film, featuring Maud Forget and François Chattot, focuses on a patient of Professor Charcot.^[9]
