Philosophy is Sexy: Daring to Know, Daring to Act

Share an intimate lunch conversation on Audacity with Marie Robert, host of the 4-million-listens philosophy podcast.

What is audacity and why is it essential to progress? Historically, philosophers have said little about audacity, yet the notion refers to the ideal of philosophical posture and the famous "sapere aude", which is commonly translated as "dare to think for yourself".


The audacity of knowledge is the courage to examine the truth without relying on received ideas. Being daring does not mean giving in to insolence, but rather to analysis. It's about questioning situations to transform what needs to be transformed and confirming what we agree with, so it's the first step to take for those who want to take the plunge and share their vision. In addition to the audacity to understand and act, there is also the audacity to hope.


In a lunch conversation that retraces the history of the notion, from Kant to Obama, we explore all the facets of audacity so that, at last, we too can dare to take the plunge.

Marie Robert

Marie Robert teaches philosophy and is the founder of four Montessori schools in Paris, Clichy and Marseille, as well as two crèches. Her passion for teaching has led her to constantly question the best way to put the discipline of philosophy back at the heart of our daily lives. A best-selling author, her first book, ‘Kant tu ne sais plus quoi faire... il reste la philo’, published by Flammarion in 2018, has been translated in over fifteen countries, including the United States. She has just published her sixth book, The Miracle of Comfort, with the same publisher. She is also the creator of the podcast ‘Philosophy Is Sexy’, with 2 million listens, and of the Instragram account of the same name, on which she follows 266,000 people every morning. Finally, she forges links with the business world by coaching managers and employees using philosophical tools. Whatever the medium, the perspective is always the same: think your life and live your thoughts by putting philosophy at the heart of your life.
