Jean-Pierre Dupuy (born February 20, 1941) is a French engineer and philosopher.
He was a professor of French and a researcher at the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) of Stanford University, California.
[1] He also taught social and political philosophy and the ethics of science and technology until 2006 at the École Polytechnique.
He founded the center of cognitive sciences and epistemology of the Ecole polytechnique (CREA) in 1982 with Jean-Marie Domenach on the basis of preliminary reflections by Jean Ullmo.
From the outset, its vocation was two-fold and involved both modeling in human sciences (models of self-organization of complex systems) and the philosophy of science (in particular, the epistemology of cognitive sciences).
