Emmanuel Fournier is the author of works in ethics and metaphysics that question the formal and material conditions of existence and thought through research on the grammar of questioning (Croire devoir penser, 1996; L’infinitif des pensées, 2000;  Philosophie infinitive, 2014; La Comédie des noms,, 2016), line investigations into the grammar of drawing (La même chose, 1993; Six comptes rendus, 1995; 36 morceaux & Mer à faire, 2005), essays on the place of the brain (Creuser la cervelle, 2012; Insouciances du cerveau, 2018) or works on the end of life and transplants (Les Mots des derniers soins, 2008; La Fabrique du visage, 2010; Transplanter, 2015).

It is at the origin of infinitive philosophy, an attempt to "overcome the obstacles inherent in the very principle of philosophy, which is always exposed to being locked into what it says and thus to putting itself in contradiction with its original project (to think, to make think, to liberate...) ".
