André Lalande was a French philosopher. In 1904 he was appointed Professor of philosophy at the University of Paris.
Whilst still at school in 1883-4 he was taught by Émile Durkheim, who he greatly appreciated. His notes have provided the basis for the publication Durkheim's Philosophy Lectures: Notes from the Lycée de Sens Course, 1883–1884 in 2004.
His doctoral thesis was entitled L'idée directrice de la dissolution opposée à celle de l'évolution. In 1901 he was one of the founders of the French Philosophical Society.Works
