François Noudelmann is a contemporary French philosopher, university professor and radio producer. François Noudelmann is currently a professor at New York University, and regularly at the University of Paris VIII (Université de Vincennes à Saint-Denis), and European Graduate School in Saas-Fee (Switzerland). He is a member of the Institut Universitaire de France. Between 2001 and 2004, he was the director of the Collège International de Philosophie (Ciph) in Paris. Since 2019, he runs La Maison française at NYU. Between 2002 and 2013, Noudelmann produced and hosted weekly and daily radio shows on France-Culture, notably Les Vendredis de la philosophie and Macadam philo. From 2008 to 2009 Noudelmann coordinated and participated in the blog project 24 heures philo (24 hours Philosophy) for the French newspaper Libération, combining news, critical theory and philosophy. In 2009 and 2010 Noudelmann produced and hosted Je l'entends comme je l'aime, a Sunday evening radio show on France Culture which draws on the many relationships between music and the arts, philosophy, literature, poetry, science, and more. Previous guests have included Hélène Cixous, Jean-Luc Nancy, Alain Badiou, Slavoj Zizek among many others. He hosted a daily program called Le Journal de la philosophie between 2010 and 2013. Noudelmann's first novel Les Enfants de Cadillac was published in 2021. The book was shortlisted for the Prix Femina, the Prix André Malraux, and the Prix Goncourt. Since Noudelmann's partner, Camille Laurens, is a member of the Goncourt committee, the book was set aside from the competition. The académie Goncourt has since changed its rules, excluding competitors with ties to its members.
