Philosophy is Sexy: Going further, together

Discover the power of collective intelligence with Marie Robert, host of the 4-million-listens philosophy podcast. 

Remember when you were a kid and you really wanted to win at dodgeball? Do you remember the strategies you devised with your team? Those flashes of genius, that confidence in others? The same ability is mobilised during a football match, in an orchestra, but also within any group of children or adults united around a project. Everyone pitches in with their own skills and contributes to the overall progress. It's a demonstration of collective intelligence. Lively, creative, immediate. A rare spectacle. Not a clash of brilliant minds, but a pooling of ideas.


This miracle of ‘us’ can be seen in ants and bees, but above all, the history of humanity is based on this kind of mechanism. Language, technology, politics, culture and so on, exist only through this dynamic. And yet it often seems to have broken down, as if dissolved in the ego-king.


Taking the time to define it means rediscovering our momentum. For while we face immense challenges today, none of them will succeed without this shared power.


Join the talk and learn how to grow together.

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.
