Scientific Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies and holder of the Transitions Chair at UM6P (Morocco)
Professor at Sciences Po Aix-en-Provence, at the University Paris-Nanterre and at the UM6P (Morocco), and Chair of Transitions and Scientific Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies (UM6P), Raphaël Liogier ran the Observatoire du religieux from 2006 to 2014, the main institution to have studied the new groups of young people using Islam as an anti-social flag to justify violent behaviours. He was the first expert to be interviewed by the French Parliament after the January 2015 Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack. He has been visiting professor in European, American and Australian universities, and has written numerous books on the mutation of beliefs and paradigms, on transnational identities and on the need for metaphysics. His recent research focuses on the impact of new technoscience, specifically AI, on human narratives. His last book, Khaos: The Betrayed Promise of Modernity, raises the question of the meaning and necessity of trans-cendence in our present world, radically renewing the old debate between faith and knowledge.
