The constellation of knowledge

We do not live in a common world, but at most in archipelagos. How can we transform the world and make it common without standardizing it? Patrick Boucheron and Barbara Cassin ask questions.

This year, the Night of Ideas questions the idea of ​​a common world. Organized by the French Institute, it will take place on the night of January 26, 2017 and will bring together intellectuals, researchers and artists on five continents. The life of ideas joins the event through a series of interviews.
