Abstract

Le paradigme cosmique est constitué des principes aristotéliciens et cartésiens de l'analytisme et du mécanisme. D'après ce paradigme le phénomène intelligible doit être réductible, déterminé, évident et simplifiable. En faisant du mouvement le concept-clé de la compréhension et de l'explication, l'analytisme génère les caractères arithmético-géométriques du mécanisme En disjoignant la cause de l'effet, il fait de la causalité non pas une relation mais une ordre mécanique tel que l'effet suit la cause le long de la flèche du temps. En écartant le sujet de l'objet scientifique, il fonde une science sans conscience. Le réductionnisme et le simplisme du paradigme cosmique le rendent insoutenable pour appréhender les phénomènes perçus complexes. Nous sommes portés à considérer d'autres principes d'intelligibilité. Ils forment ensemble le paradigme chaosmique. Ce sont des principes qui distinguent et conjoignent à la fois et qui intègrent le sujet scientifique dans son processus de cognition. The Arisotelian and the Cartesian principles of analytism and mecanism compose the cosmic paradigm. According to the latter, the intelligible phenomenon must be reductible, determinated, evident and simplifiable. By making the movement the key concept for comprehension and explanation, analytism generates the arithmetical and geometrical qualities of mecanism. By untying the cause from the effect, the causality appears not like a relation but a mecanical order such as the effect follows the cause along the time arrow. By separating the subject from the scientific object, analytism founds a science without conscience. Because of its reductionistic and simplistic character the cosmic paradigm is unsustainable to grasp the complex phenomena. We were brought to consider other principles of intelligibility that make up the chaosmic paradigm. They are principles both of distinction and conjuction, which take account of the scientist in the cognition process. (Full text in French)
