Anne-Françoise Schmid (born 17 September 1949) is a Swiss-born French philosopher. She was an associate researcher at Mines ParisTech and has worked with the Henri Poincaré archives. Schmid specializes in the work of Henri Poincaré and edited the letters between Bertrand Russell and Louis Couturat. She co-founded the philosophical movement non-philosophy with François Laruelle, and they co-direct the Organisation Non-Philosophique Internationale. She develops “generic epistemologies,” an approach that blends ideas from different disciplines to solve problems across fields. Her ideas have influenced biology, economics, and social policy debates in France and have inspired several contemporary artists. She is married to François Laruelle, and they have a child, Lorraine Laruelle.
