Dans les pas d’Edgar Morin : vers une écologie de l’action complexe

To follow in the footsteps of Edgar Morin and to walk alongside him represents for us, teacher-researchers, an intellectual adventure rich in multidisciplinary contributions to build and develop our work. We entered through the door of the ecology of action and found there the theory of complexity that we qualify as a paradigm of transversality and connection. The ecology of action is presented here as an alternative to the model of rational and instrumental action. In the work of Christophe Schmitt, it is translated by the theorization of entrepreneurial action, whose action is finalized and is constructed along the way within an ecosystem, and in the work of Philippe Lorino as an action that unfolds in an ecosystem with the objective of reaching a goal, but whose success is not certain, it is of the order of the random. We refer to these two models to elaborate our research problems and orient our results. The ecology of complex action and more globally the paradigm of complexity, besides being a reference model for our work, also embodies for us a reading grid that allows us to make sense of the multiple events we encounter in the course of our lives.
