- Biography
- Bibliography of Jean-Michel Chaumont
Enrolled for a first year of university in psychology, Jean-Michel Chaumont got passionate about philosophy. He reoriented himself quickly and obtained, in 1989, a PhD degree in philosophy on historical responsibility at the Catholic University of Louvain. Questioning “what we owe to the past”, his work owes a lot to the death of his parents, which occurred in 1987. Doctor in Philosophy, working at the Foundation Auschwitz, he then joins in the debates on the epistemology of history and wonders about the memorial and historical singularity of the Holocaust. This new research gives rise to a second PhD thesis, in sociology this time, at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS). Researcher at the National Fund for Scientific Research and professor at the Catholic University of Louvain since 1995, he got interested in the genealogy of speeches and public policies relating to the white slaves and human beings, before dedicating, these In recent years, most of his work towards the understanding of the “blame-the-victim syndrome” and towards the construction of a sociology of moral evidence.
