A tribute to the great Greek thinker Kostas Axelos, for the 90 years from his birth, was held in Paris, by the prestigious École normale supérieure (ENS). The event took place on the occasion of the donation of Axelos’ files to the ENS’s library, by his partner Katerina Daskalaki, current ambassador to UNESCO in Paris.

Manuscripts, photographs, personal notes, books are exhibited in 11 showcases, with the title: "Kostas Axelos, Thinker of the game world;" inspired by the theoretical approach of Axelos for what he called "game world."

The choice of the ENS [in Greek] for the donation of the files was made after "a lot of thought," explains Ms. Daskalakis. "This is an institution with a long history, founded by Napoleon very soon after the revolution and mainly has a library with an already very serious philosophical file."
