Early life
François-Xavier Bellamy was born on 11 October 1985.[1][2]
Bellamy was educated at the Ecole Sainte-Marie des Bourdonnais, a private school in Versailles[3]. After two-years preparatory classes in the Lycée Henri-IV, he got into the Ecole normale supérieure, from which he graduated in 2005[2]. He earned the agrégation in philosophy in 2008[2].
Career
Bellamy taught philophy at the Lycée Sainte-Geneviève and the Lycée Notre-Dame de Grandchamp in Versailles in 2008[2]. In 2009, he taught at the Lycée Auguste Renoir in Asnières-sur-Seine, the Lycée Louis Bascan in Rambouillet and the Lycée hôtelier in Guyancourt.[2]. Since 2011, he has been teaching philosophy and art history for the preparatory classes at the Lycée Blomet in Paris[2].
Bellamy is the author of three books. He won the Prix d'Aumale from the Académie française in 2014 for his first book, Les déshérités ou l'urgence de transmettre[4]. In this essay, he analyses the failure of French educational system as the result of an ideology that refuses the transmission of culture, thus creating disinherited. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, René Descartes and Pierre Bourdieu would be the utmost representatives of this ideology.
He is the deputy mayor of Versailles for employment, youth and higher education[2]. He was a candidate for the National Assembly elections in 2017, invested by The Republicans, but he lost in the second round against the candidate of En Marche!, with 48.9% vs 51.1% of the votes[5].
