A ''pop philosopher'', Lévy was one of the leaders of the "Nouvelle Philosophie", a French movement in 1976 vaguely inspired by [[Michel Foucault]] (who had mixed feelings about the association). They are known for making appearances on television and writing books about philosophy but abstaining from publishing in any philosophical journals or engaging in debates with their peers. |
