Pierre Kaan (French: (kɑ̃ ) 10 January 1903 – 18 May 1945) was a professor of philosophy, marxist essayist, and prominent member of the French Resistance during the Second World War.〔() William Honan, 'Micheline Glover, 76, A Bold Figure in the French Resistance', ''The New York Times'', 24/04/2000.〕 ==Activist, writer, teacher (1919-1939)== Pierre Kaan was born on 10 January 1903 in the 5th Arrondissement of Paris. After a primary education often interrupted by health problems, Pierre Kaan entered in 1919 into khâgne, the preparatory classes for the entrance exams of École Normale Supérieure at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand. While at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand Kaan founded a literary review called ''la Gerbe du Quartier Latin'', alongside fellow students Daniel Guérin, Georges Altman, and Paul Verdier. Pierre Kaan's attendance in the preparatory classes were interrupted when his parents sent him to Brittany to recover from recurring asthma attacks. Nevertheless, Pierre Kaan was awarded a diploma in philosophy by ''l'Academie de Paris'' in 1923, with a dissertation titled 'The sociological basis of Nietzsche's thought during his intellectualist period 1876-1882'. Following a growing notoriety in French academic and marxist circles in the early 1920s, Pierre Kaan was spotted by Boris Souvarine who placed him on the editing board of l'Humanité and shortly thereafter requested Kaan contribute as a writer and editor for the Bulletin Communiste.〔() Stuart Kendall, ''Georges Bataille'' (London, 2007), p. 86.〕 During the 1920s Pierre Kaan contributed to a number of Jewish literary reviews. In 1925 Kaan began an editorial collaboration with Albert Cohen at the ''Revue Juive'', a literary magazine founded by Cohen to review Jewish literature. And between 1927-1928, Pierre Kaan joined another literary review called ''Palestine'', a Zionist literary review presided by Justin Godart, as its secretary.〔Kaan family archives, Box IV (Judaïsme) correspondence between Albert Cohen and Pierre Kaan 1925-1926〕 Having passed the agrégation in philosophy in 1928, Pierre Kaan was named associate professor of literature and philosophy at a secondary school in Montargis. However, Kaan resigned from his position in September 1929 in order to fulfill his military obligations, which he completes in November and is thereby named professor in another secondary school, this time in Nogent-le-Rotrou. At odds over the party's close relationship with the Soviet Union, Pierre Kaan quit the French Communist Party (PCF) in 1929 and joined Souvarine's new group, the ''Cercle Communiste Démocratique'', whose members included Simone Weil, Georges Bataille, and Raymond Queneau.〔() www.jolpress.com, ''l'Humanité quotidien engagé'', retrieved 17 August 2013.〕〔() www.collectif-smolny.org, ''La Critique Sociale'' in SMOLNY: Collectif d'édition des introuvables du mouvement ouvrier, retrieved 17 August 2013.〕 In 1931 Pierre Kaan began his involvement with Boris Souvarine's ''La Critique Sociale'' joining Bataille, Weil, Queneau, Lucien Laurat and other writers, philosophers and economists to revue letters and ideas for what would become a widely read publication during the 1930s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Kaan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
