Théodule Ribot’s Intellectual Enterprises In this introduction, Ribot is presented as an “intellectual entrepreneur” within the context of his times. His various careers and undertakings are successively described and analyzed. As the first exponent of English and German psychology in France during the 1870s, Ribot presented himself as being neither a positivist nor a spiritualist. He placed himself at the center of the philosophical discipline by creating the Revue philosophique, the Director of which he would remain until his death, in 1916, and which he would use as a pivotal foothold. Although he was not a physician, he gave French psychology its pathological orientation in the 1880s. After 1890, he started developing a psychology of affectivity. The institutional success of Ribot, who became Professor at the Collège de France in 1888, went together with his reception by a broad audience, as evidenced by the numerous reprints and translations of his works.

Self-Portraits of Ribot as a correspondent Letters are used here not as the ultimate keys for understanding the works of an author, but as sources that shed light on his plurality as a writer. Depending on the status of the letters and of their recipients, the style is not the same, both the presentation of oneself and the content vary. The letters of Ribot that could be salvaged illustrate the plurality of the identities he took up: with his friend Espinas, he slayed academic spiritualism; for the administration, he was a teacher trying to escape from provincial appointments; with Charles Lévêque, he was a contender; with Renouvier and Taine, an imitator; with Wundt and James, the introducer of a foreign science; with Tarde and Piéron, a career-maker; with Xavier Léon, a distant elder; with Lionel Dauriac, an old man confiding; with Bouglé and Lévy-Bruhl, the director of a journal in need of contributors.

While browsing among the archival data that remain in the James Collection at Houghton Library and especially regarding the remains of "William James's Philosophical Library", it becomes clear that William James was a very active reader. Among the various fields which stirred his interests, possibly the most striking, as shown by the huge amount of documents, is the field covering such topics as abnormal psychology related to religious experiences, from the most serious monograph in German psychiatry to fly-by-night psychic publications. Can an exploration of these documents help scholars understand how James built up The Varieties of Religious Experience? Is it possible to consider these materials as scaffolding that remain behind the scene of his published writings? So, we interviewed a scholar who investigated for years into this material in order to collect some insights about James's sources, about the philosopher's work in the privacy of his own study

« Une histoire de la psychologie par les femmes ? ». Le groupe d’études pluridisciplinaires d’histoire de la psychologie (GEPHP), en partenariat avec le séminaire « Psychologie, psychiatrie, psychanalyse : histoires croisées » (EHESS), propose d’aborder cette question lors d’une après-midi d’étude au Centre Alexandre-Koyré le vendredi 13 avril 2018.
Des chercheuses et des chercheurs, jeunes et confirmés, y présenteront et questionneront certains discours savants, médicaux et philosophiques sur les femmes depuis le XIXe siècle, la dimension sociale et normative de certaines catégories psychiatriques construites sur les attributs supposés de la féminité, un club de réflexion féminin sur la psychanalyse dans l’entre-deux-guerres, les carrières, pratiques et représentations des premières femmes médecins en Europe et une psychologie différentielle des filles et des garçons conçue d’après une spécialiste de l’enfance et de l’adolescence.
Autant de prises sur la question posée qui visent à interroger le grand récit masculinisé de l’histoire des sciences psys, des torsions et des silences qui en découlent.
