François Zourabichvili was the son of composer Nicolas Zourabichvili, nephew of historian Hélène Carrère d'Encausse, and cousin of author Emmanuel Carrère.[1] He became agrégé in 1989 and earned his PhD in Philosophy in 1999. He taught at a lycée already from 1988 to 2001, was docent at Paul Valéry University, Montpellier III, and a director at the Collège international de philosophie from 1998 to 2004.[2] He committed suicide in 2006 and is buried in the Russian Church of the Holy Trinity in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
A year after Zourabichvili's death, the Collège international de philosophie and the École normale supérieure organized a colloquium upon Les physiques de la pensée selon François Zourabichvili ("The physics of thinking according to François Zourabichvili") led by Bruno Clément and Frédéric Worms. The event took place with the participation of Pierre Macherey, Pierre-François Moreau, Pierre Zaoui, Paola Marrati, Paul R. Patton, Paolo Godani and Marie-France Badie.[3][4]
François Zourabichvili worked primarily on the concepts of "event" and "littéralité", inspired by the philosophy of Deleuze. In addition, he wrote about aesthetics, a discipline in which he centered his interest for the purpose of finding relations between art and game.[5] He published some articles about the films of Boris Barnet and Dziga Vertov.
