Léon remained editor of the journal until his death in 1935,[2] when he was succeeded by Dominique Parodi.[3] In 1900 he founded the International Congress of Philosophy,[4] and in 1901 the Société Française de Philosophie.[3] He wrote extensively on Johann Gottlieb Fichte. He is buried in the Jewish section of Père-Lachaise Cemetery.[5]
