My current research aims at appraising the history of world congresses of philosophy between 1900 and 1940, and the way European philosophers strove to translate and exchange their concepts. I am taking into consideration these fifty years through which European philosophers attempted to create a transnational community, and a common vocabulary and language. This case study is not limited to the texts and their content, but also encompasses the social, technical and economical aspects of this endeavour to spread concepts. This phenomenon implies a complex dynamic not undevoided of struggles engaging several actors (such as the authors, the societies, magazines, governments and so forth), which unfold both in the national and the international space.
