'''Bernard-Henri Lévy''' (born in Algeria in 1948, to a wealthy Sephardi Jewish family) is a French journalist. He studied at the ''École Normale Supérieure'' in 1968, from which he graduated with a degree in philosophy. 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.<ref name="Tarifa"/>

An aged [[Jean Paul Sartre]] thought he was a CIA agent.
Lévy has three best friends: Gilles Hertzog, grandson of a founder of the French Communist Party, Jacques Martinez, a painter, and Jean-Paul Enthoven, an editor at Grasset.
