Anne Dufourmantelle (20 March 1964 – 21 July 2017) was a French philosopher and psychoanalyst.[1][2][3]

Education and career

Dufourmantelle was educated at Brown University and at Paris-Sorbonne University, where she earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1994.[4] She practised psychoanalysis and was a professor at the European Graduate School[5] and a contributor to the French daily newspaper Libération.[2]

Her philosophical work focused on risk taking, which she argued was essential, saying that "absolute security - like 'zero risk' - is a fantasy"[4] and that "[R]eal danger must be faced in order to survive".[6] Her book Éloge du risque or Praise of Risk was published in 2011.[4] Dufourmantelle was also a professor of psychoanalysis at The European Graduate School.[7]

Death

She died on July 21, 2017, at Pampelonne beach in Ramatuelle near the city of Saint-Tropez, while trying to rescue two children caught in the Mediterranean when the water became dangerously turbulent. The children were rescued by lifeguards and survived, but Dufourmantelle could not be resuscitated.[2][4][8]

Honours

Dufourmantelle won the Prix Raymond de Boyer de Sainte-Suzanne from the Académie française in 1998.[4][9]
