Content	Collective commitment and intellectual intervention in society. This seminar aims at questioning the specificities of forms of social innovation insofar as they guide the individuals' actions and thoughts. The seminar, articulated on the question of the role of intellectual intervention in society, interrogates the efficiency of practical and theoretical processes of collective commitment. In order to grasp the philosophical question of social transformation, the seminar follows a critical and historical approach, insisting on the importance of intellectual intervention in society. The seminar will thus interrogate central concepts of several disciplines, including sociology of knowledge, phenomenology and political philosophy.
