Il est directeur d'études à l'École des hautes études en sciences sociales et codirecteur du centre Edgar-Morin. Il soutient une thèse de doctorat d'État es lettres en 1977 « Le corps redressé, culture et pédagogie », devant un jury composé de Georges Snyders (directeur), Viviane Isambert-Jamati, Michel Bernard, Georges Canguilhem, François Dagognet, et Jacques Ulmann, et obtient la mention très honorable.
