Francis Métivier spent twelve years at the Faculty of Medicine in Tours as a researcher-teacher in medical ethics, teaching ethics and corporate social responsibility at ESSCA and ESCEM in Tours.
As a speaker, he regularly addresses the issue of palliative care (World Days and training in university hospitals) and works with laboratories (Jansen Days, FMC Boehringer evenings) particularly on the following themes: risk prevention, sexuality, the reconciliation of ethics and health economics, and the social responsibility of laboratories.
“Be a philosopher, but let not all your philosophy prevent you from being a man.” David Hume.
Francis Métivier is a doctor of philosophy (graduate of Paris IV-Sorbonne), speaker, performer, and presenter. He is notably the author of the successful essay Rock’n philo, Zapping philo, and the novel Dans ton corps.
He is the director and presenter of the digital channel “PHI,” produced by Studio 42 (École 42 of Xavier NIEL), which explains the great ideas of philosophy through current films and series.
The media regularly seeks him out as a philosophical reference in the Francophonie. He is also a columnist for the site Le + du Nouvel Observateur and was a television presenter for two years on TV Tours.
His work as an author and speaker allows him to share his passions with diverse audiences: World Philosophy Days of UNESCO; congresses and corporate and laboratory evenings; philosophy festivals, headlining with Luc FERRY; Talks: the Impertinents with Etienne KLEIN; rock festivals (Francofolies de La Rochelle with Axel BAUER); prestigious schools (ESSCA, ESCEM); venues (Bellevilloise, Paris, Lieu Unique, Nantes, Chabada, Angers); major libraries (Béziers, Limoges, Bourges, …); and the first philosophy news segment this year at Paris Story.
