Life
Musso studied philosophy at the École nationale supérieure des postes, télégraphes et téléphones (ENSPTT), before gaining a Ph.D. in political science at University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Supervised by Lucien Sfez, his thesis dealt with the ideal of the telecommunications network in the thought of Henri Saint-Simon and his followers.{{cite book | editor=José Luís Garcia | title=Pierre Musso and the Network Society: From Saint-Simonianism to the Internet | author=José Luís Garcia | chapter=Introduction: Towards a Critical Philosophy of Networks – Reflections on the Perspective of Pierre Musso | location= | publisher=Springer | year=2016 | pages=1–18 | isbn=9783319455389 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=slkLDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA1 }}
