Didier Debaise is professor at the Université Libre Bruxelles. His main areas of research are contemporary forms of speculative philosophy, philosophy of nature, and links between American pragmatism and the French contemporary philosophy. He wrote several books on Whitehead’s philosophy (Un empirisme spéculatif, Le vocabulaire de Whitehead and L’appât des possibles), edited volumes on pragmatism (Vie et experimentation), on the history of contemporary metaphysics (Philosophie des possessions), and he wrote numerous papers on Bergson, Tarde, Whitehead, Simondon, Deleuze, Latour and Stengers. Two of his books were published in English: Nature as Event and Speculative Empiricism.
