Founded in 1937 on the initiative of the Swedish philosopher Åke Petzäll, with the help of Français Raymond Bayer, Émile Bréhier and Léon Robin and thanks to a collaboration between the Paris Sorbonne and the University of Lund, the Institute cultivates continuous dialogue, shared experiences, exchanges and philosophical contacts.
