Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier Bellamy was born in 1985. After studying literature, he turned to philosophy. He joined the \u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure in 2005 and passed the philosophy agr\u00e9gation in 2008. After two stints in ministerial offices, he left his position to teach in secondary education. His first teaching positions took him to several schools in the Paris suburbs. He currently teaches in literary preparatory classes.<\/p>\n
At the same time, since 2008, he has been the deputy mayor (non-partisan) of Versailles, responsible for youth, secondary and higher education, and employment.<\/p>\n
He is the author of numerous publications in the press and regularly speaks at conferences for diverse audiences. In 2013, he created the Soir\u00e9es de la Philo, a philosophy series for the general public, which takes place in Paris, at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l’Oeuvre, and later at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Saint Georges.<\/p>\n
In 2014, he published his first book, Les D\u00e9sh\u00e9rit\u00e9s, ou l’urgence de transmettre (Editions Plon); this essay attempts to identify the philosophical causes of the educational crisis and to open avenues for reestablishing the transmission of culture. Sold in over 50,000 copies and translated into several languages, Les D\u00e9sh\u00e9rit\u00e9s was released in paperback (Editions Flammarion) in 2016; it received the Aumale Prize from the Acad\u00e9mie Fran\u00e7aise and the prize from the Association of Combat Writers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
