Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Henri Gouhier, philosopher, died Paris 31 March, aged 95. Professor of religious history at the Sorbonne 1941-68, and a specialist in the history of ideas and the evolution of philosophy from the 17th to 20th centuries. He received the Academie Francaise's Grand Prize for Literature in 1966 and was appointed a member in 1979.
