Matthieu Ricard
Jean-François Revel: (Marseille, France, January 19, 1924 – April 30, 2006 in Kremlin-Bicêtre) was a French politician, journalist, author, prolific philosopher and member of the Académie française since June 1998. He was born Jean-François Ricard, but later adopted his pseudonym Revel as his legal surname. During the German occupation of France in WWII, Revel participated in the French Resistance and later noted that the officious but disgraceful manner of French collaborators influenced his writings . One of his sons, Matthieu Ricard, is a well known Buddhist monk who studied molecular biology at the Pasteur Institute before converting to Tibetan Buddhism. Father and son jointly authored a book Le moine et le philosophe (The Monk and the Philosopher) about the son's conversion and Buddhism.
