The Collège international de philosophie (French pronunciation: [kɔlɛʒ ɛ̃tɛʁnɑsjɔnal də filɔzɔfi]; CIPh) is located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. It is a tertiary education institute placed under the trusteeship of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and chartered under the French 1901 Law on Associations.

History

It was co-founded in 1983 by Jacques Derrida, François Châtelet, Jean-Pierre Faye and Dominique Lecourt in an attempt to re-think the teaching of philosophy in France, and to liberate it from undue institutional authority (most of all from the university). Its financing is mainly through public funds in the form of grants from the Ministry of Research and the Ministry of Education.”[1]

Governance

The chair or "directors of program" is competitively elected for 6 years (non renewable), following an international open call for proposals (every third year). Proposals are free and directors are elected after a collegial, peer review of their value for philosophy. The College recognizes that philosophy is better served by being located at "intersections" such as Philosophy/Science, or Philosophy/Law. Proposals must respond to this exigency of "intersection" according to the wishes of Jacques Derrida. The College has few registered students, who may receive the diplôme du Collège international de philosophie, which is not a university degree but may be, in some cases, validated by French or foreign universities.[2] Otherwise, attendance to seminars is open and free.

Raison d'être (mission and purpose)

According to Derrida, he was inspired by the Colloque de Cerisy study center to found this new institution, in the midst of governmental threats on the teaching of philosophy in the last class[a] Thus was created this College, "from a non-governmental origin, with an international span, an institution which is not destined to oppose itself, but to balance, question, open, and occupy margins; where we would privilege infrequent approaches or approaches yet unconventionalized by the university, new objects, new themes, new fields; where we would treat more of intersections than of academic disciplines."[3]
