Nathan Devers was born into a Jewish family in Paris. He wanted to be a rabbi, but instead became a philosopher.

Devers: "I changed my universe, my worldview, my passion. I lost the way I envisioned my future, my friends, or even, very concretely, my way of living on a daily basis" His book, Thinking Against Oneself, is an autobiographical story carried by a completely romantic energy, he says. " philosophy allowed me to break the barrier of the arbitrariness of my birth and to open my quest for meaning, even if some philosophers can be very dogmatic," says Devers. "If philosophy is not definable in principle, many people mention Deleuze, but this is only one definition among others – philosophizing on the other hand, is the art of creating concepts," says the author of Artificial Links. "We never consider ourselves the owner of our ideas, we do not keep the truths that we have demonstrated as if they were our property," he adds.
