Jacques Brunschwig , historian, philologist and translator French.

He was professor of history of old philosophy to the Université Paris I of which he is currently professor emeritus. Specialist in the ancient Philosophy, it translated in particular the Topics of Aristote (the Beautiful Letters). If it did not publish many works, it however wrote many articles and carried out critical editions of which that of the writings of Leibniz. He was the cousin of the historian Pierre Vidal-Naquet with whom he made his beginnings in the reading of the authors of the Antiquité. Even if there remains especially known as historian of the ancient Philosophie, Jacques Brunschwig were also interested in modern philosophy, as its translation testifies some to the Regulae AD directionem ingenii of Descartes, and its editions of the Essais of Théodicée and the Nouveaux tests on the human understanding of Leibniz.
