La crise écologique induit une mutation profonde du rapport à la nature dans notre culture. Cette mutation est interrogée ici en cinq controverses philosophiques : depuis les analyses historique et épistémologique, en passant par l'éthique, l'anthropologie et la philosophie politique. Cet ouvrage propose des repères importants pour la mise en œuvre d'une culture et d'un fonctionnement sociétal qui répondent à un problème majeur de notre époque.

Self-organization constitutes one of the most important theoretical debates in contemporary life sciences. The present book explores the relevance of the concept of self-organization and its impact on such scientific fields as: immunology, neurosciences, ecology and theories of evolution. Historical aspects of the issue are also broached. Intuitions relative to self-organization can be found in the works of such key western philosophical figures as Aristotle, Leibniz and Kant. Interacting with more recent authors and cybernetics, self-organization represents a notion in keeping with the modern world's discovery of radical complexity. The themes of teleology and emergence are analyzed by philosophers of sciences with regards to the issues of modelization and scientific explanation. The implications of self-organization for life sciences are here approached from an interdisciplinary angle, revealing the notion as already rewarding and full of promise for the future.
