Luc Ferry Biography

Luc Ferry is one of the most popular and richest Philosopher who was born on January 3, 1951 in Colombes, Île-de-France, France. Luc Ferry, French politician and philosopher (French pronunciation: [feRi] – born January 1, 1951), is a proponent for secular humanism. He was a member of the Saint- Simon Foundation think-tank.

Ferry stated on television in June 2011 that he had information about a former minister of the French government who had sexually assaulted young boys in a Moroccan orgy. Ferry stated that the case was well-known at the top levels of French government, but did not provide any details about the individuals involved due to the possibility of being sued for libel. The criminal investigation was opened, and he was requested to cooperate with the prosecutors.

He is the creator of the comic book series La Sagesse des mythes which is based on Greek mythology and is published since 2016.

Despite repeated efforts, Luc Ferry was rejected for the third time by the Académie française, in January 2019.

Le Monde, Le Canard enchaine and other media reported that Luc Ferry had been a professor at Paris Diderot University from 1996 to 1997. He was minister when he was there, but he was not required to teach. When he wasn’t on leave, his obligation to teach was waived to allow him to take on other duties. While he was still being paid as a professor, some of these came with compensation. However, the University became financially independent in 2010 after a modification to legislation was introduced by Valerie Pecresse. It didn’t want professors who did not teach on its payroll. This could have made the president of the University liable for misusing public funds. The university then asked Luc Ferry to fulfill his assigned teaching share. Ferry declined. According to certain sources, the university threatened to reimburse him his salary in 2011 (EUR4,500 per monthly).
