He received his Agrg in 1907 and became Docteur-s-Lettres in 1913.

He was also a pupil, at the Collge de France, of Henri Bergson, "whose lectures" he recently said "still remain in my memory as so many hours of intellectual transfiguration," and whom he calls "the only living master in philosophy" he ever had. In 1913 he taught at the University of Lille. During the first world war he was a machine-gunnery captain in the French army, was captured at Verdun and spent his time in a German prisoner of war camp writing and studying. After the war, in 1919, he joined the faculty of the University of Strasbourg. In 1921 he returned to the Sorbonne, this time to teach, and remained there until 1932 when he was elected to the Collge de France. He was Professor of the Philosophy of the Middle Ages at the Collge de France until 1950 when he retired. In 1929 he also became Director of
