52

The issue of biographies, and autobiographies, has already been evoked in La Pensée, using different approaches. In particular, Philippe Malrieu, one of the greatest French psychologists, provides an overview of how to consider a trajectory and unique characteristics in relation to the social environments that have shaped them. In line with the work of Henri Wallon, research shows that the social character of the human being constitutes a condition of the singularity of the subject.
