Didier Eribon (born 10 July 1953) is a French author and philosopher, and a historian of French intellectual life.
Didier Eribon was born in Reims. His biography of Michel Foucault (1989), published in English in 1991, has been praised by Pierre Bourdieu, Paul Veyne, Paul Rabinow and Hayden White, among others, and is considered in France, according to Le Monde, as the best biography of Foucault. His 1988 book of conversations with Claude Lévi-Strauss came out in English also in 1991.
