Deservedly so, Jules Vuillemin is widely respected and greatly
admired. It is not simply that he has produced a large body of
outstanding work, in many different areas of philosophy. Or that he
combines to an unusual degree rigorous standards with a very wide
perspective. Or even that in his path-breaking accounts of algebra,
of !)escartes, of Kant and of Russell, he showed in new and
profound ways how the histories of science and philosophy could be
used to illuminate each other. It is also that he has pursued the
application of formal techniques and the defense of liberal
institutions with a rare singlemindedness and courage. In a time
and place where the former were generally ignored and the latter
often attacked, he carried on, at some personal cost, embodying a
traditional and ideal conception of the philosophical life,
bridging national differences. Those who know him also treasure his
friendship. Always curious, he delights in new facts and new
experiences, and continually heightens the perception of those
around him. Almost yearly, at the College de France he introduced
brand new courses always with fresh and fruitful inSights.
Exceptionally solicitous, he follows the lives of the families
around him in great detail. The devotion of his students is legend.
His personal energy is also legend. Many of us have followed him
bounding up the stairs two at a time or through the gardens of the
Luxembourg, his wit and irony apace.
