François Noudelmann

François Noudelmann (born 1958) is a French philosopher, university professor and radio producer.

François Noudelmann is currently a professor at New York University, emeritus at the Paris 8 University Vincennes-Saint-Denis, and previously European Graduate School in Saas-Fee (Switzerland).

In 2009 and 2010 Noudelmann produced and hosted Je l'entends comme je l'aime, a Sunday evening radio show on France Culture which draws on the many relationships between music and the arts, philosophy, literature, poetry, science, and more. Previous guests have included Hélène Cixous, Jean-Luc Nancy, Alain Badiou, Slavoj Zizek among many others. He hosted a daily program called Le Journal de la philosophie between 2010 and 2013.

Noudelmann's first novel Les Enfants de Cadillac was published in 2021. The book was shortlisted for the Prix Femina, the Prix André Malraux, and the Prix Goncourt. Since Noudelmann's partner, Camille Laurens, is a member of the Goncourt committee, the book was set aside from the competition. The académie Goncourt has since changed its rules, excluding competitors with ties to its members.
