Studies, family

Van Reeth is the only daughter in a family of four children.[1] She is of Flemish origin by her paternal grandfather. Daughter of an archivist, she moved a lot in her childhood due to her father's assignments.[2]

When she was 15 she spent one year in New Zealand.[2] After studying architecture for a few months, she joined a khâgne where she prepared for the entrance exam to the École normale supérieure de Lyon.[3] Once admitted, she went for the second year of study at the University of Chicago.[2] .[4] She had two children with her partner Raphaël Enthoven, Zadig, born in 2016, and Marcel, born in 2021.[5]

Career

A specialist in film philosophy[6] former student of the École normale supérieure de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud (promotion 2005)[7] Van Reeth works and intervenes on the question of the ordinary, based in particular on the work of the philosopher Stanley Cavell.[8]

While she is eligible for the oral examinations of the philosophy agrégation, she finally prefers to leave this path to work in radio.[2] Since September 2011, on France Culture, she has been producing and hosting the daily philosophy program Les Nouveaux Chemins de la connaissance alongside Raphaël Enthoven[9] which was renamed Les Chemins de la philosophie in 2017. In December 2012, this program became the most downloaded show of Radio France,[10] and maintains this position from time to time.[11]

After having participated in the show Ça balance à Paris [fr] in 2011 and collaborated on Philosophie magazine [fr] (2010–12), she is a regular columnist for the program Le Cercle, hosted by Frédéric Beigbeder on Canal+ Cinéma.

In March 2014, she launched a series entitled "Questions de Caractère". (co-edition Plon (publisher) / France Culture): she interacts with contemporary philosophers while keeping the spirit and approach of her program. The first volume, co-written with Jean-Luc Nancy, deals with jouissance, a theme on which she has already spoken several times. On December 19, 2017, it was announced that Van Reeth would take over from Jean-Pierre Elkabbach and host the new literary program of Public Sénat, still recorded in the Senate Library,[12] Livres & Vous.

From September 2018, she hosted the show d'art d'art ! [fr] on France 2.[13]

As of August 29, 2022, she is the director of France Inter, the leading radio station in the country.[14]
