The Groupe d'études philosophiques et scientifiques pour l'examen des idées nouvelles (Philosophical and scientific society for the assessment of emerging ideas) was a French philosophical study group who met at the Sorbonne, Paris in the 1920s and early 1930s. It was established by René and Yvonne Allendy.

History

The group was inaugurated on 7 December 1922[1] with a presentation by Paul Langevin.[2] In 1925 René Allendy described the aims of the group in terms of bringing together artists, scientists and other intellectuals from the universities.[2] The group continued until 1934.[3]

Anaïs Nin described one of their events:

"In an amphitheatre at the Sorbonne. The chaste and serious atmosphere of the class room. Madame Allendy was there: white hair, blue eyes, maternal, solid. (...)"[2]
