Philosophie Critique de l'Innovation
Chaire de recherche au Collège International de Philosophie :Philosophie Critique de l’Innovation, enjeux philosophiques, sociétaux et économiques.
Prof. Xavier Pavie
Présentation de la chaire: Si le terme « innovation » existe depuis le moyen âge, il émerge véritablement au début du XXe siècle dans la sphère économique, et devient omniprésent dans la société contemporaine. Sous couvert d’être la seule voie permettant aux organisations de survivre, l’innovation a le champ libre dans sa recherche de performance en termes de profit au sein d’une sphère capitaliste. Cette pensée dominante occulte le rôle prédominant de l’innovation dans les maux de la société, et les conséquences qu’elle génère sont souvent irréversibles : dégradation des écosystèmes par l’usage des ressources naturelles, oppression et contrôle politique à l’aide de nouvelles technologies, exploitation technique des corps.
Les enjeux du programme de recherche : A partir de la philosophie il s'agit de formuler une analyse critique de l’innovation en cinq axes majeurs : 1. La nécessité de repenser l’innovation et comprendre les enjeux qu’elle engendre. 2. Le développement d’une innovation-responsable pour permettre de questionner la pertinence des innovations à travers la responsabilité. 3. Quelle(s) philosophie(s) pour l’innovation ? en s’aidant de la phénoménologie, de la philosophie du care et de la philosophie non-standard 4. La philosophie des exercices spirituels et innovation, un axe phare pour comprendre les motivations des innovateurs et comment les convertir. 5. L’enseignement de l’innovation, ultime dimension pour questionner la façon dont nous éduquons pour innover non seulement pour une performance mais pour un bien commun.Voir
L'obscur cogito de l'écrivant-compositeur
Séminaire MAMUPHI 2022-2023 mathématiques - musique – philosophie 7 janvier 2023 Le séminaire se tient à l’Ircam (1 Place Igor Stravinsky, 75004 Paris) en salle Shannon.10h-13h - Frédéric Patras : Classicisme et romantisme
Jusqu'où peut-on appliquer aux mathématiques et aux mathématiciens une catégorisation comme celle de "romantique" ? C'est le sujet de cette saison mamuphi. L'exposé l'abordera au travers de l'opposition du romantisme au classicisme, commençant donc par réfléchir sur l'idée de "classique" en mathématiques (est-ce une catégorisation pertinente, que nous dit-elle sur les mathématiques et les mathématiciens, sur leur rapport à la rationalité ? Y-a-t-il au fond des "mathématiques classiques", et si oui, quelles seraient-elles ?) pour aborder, par contraste, et essayer de cerner ce que pourrait être un "romantisme mathématique", hier et aujourd'hui.
14h30-17h30 - Anne-Françoise Schmid : L’obscur cogito de l’écrivant-compositeur
Les aventures russes et françaises du romantisme entre littérature, philosophie et musique ont dans cet essai pour fonction de révéler l'obscur cogito de l'invention romantique. Est-ce que ces aventures ont quelque pertinence ou importance pour celui qui écrit et compose ? Il y a une difficulté à caractériser de façon conceptuelle le romantisme. Cet exposé présente quelques hypothèses sur la question de l'invention de l'individu romantique et de son rapport à ce qu'on appelle le classicisme.Voir

What to do today?
Between eternal thinkers and counter philosophers, between death foretold and over-communication, between permanent coup d'état and democratic chatter, we know the song. There's no point in joining the chorus once you've understood that we philosophers are cyclothymics. Beyond our personal taste for philosophical opera or variety, there is no choice between the defence of old figures and the satisfied vanity of opinions, with academic repetition in between, which only has the function of ensuring economic survival. The refoundation of philosophy reminds us of the refoundation of capitalism, its defence suggests that it is threatened, its academic embalming suggests that it was alive.
Move, philosophy! Like the Gnostics, and before being crushed by the cynicism of the State, the lies of the Church, the necessity of Survival, it is perhaps still time to invent our most rigorous mythology! Why is philosophy so wise in the end, it which borders on madness and invents such beautiful and ambitious systems, if not because it has prudently stopped half way? It invents in its own codes, and there are always new "great" thinkers. But it seems to be fascinated by its own movement, stupefied by its greatness, immersed in the contemplation of its monuments, because it is reflected in its ideal of the self, what it calls the Absolute. It has all the characteristics of the premature and unfinished individual who has to go through several stages of birth, constantly rejects its placenta without reaching its own self, and then decides to assert itself once and for all. But it does not have the controlled certainty of science or the bovine certainty of opinions. Science without being science, poetry without being poem, politics without real power, it is its permanent hesitation that leads it to the power stroke of the Impossible.
One of the aims of non-philosophy in the face of this dead-end situation is to try to formalise from the philosophical model the rules of an ultra-philosophical invention. What we call after others a generic gesture, thinking it as "radical" but not as absolute, is a type of inventive "forcing" opposed to the permanent power grab of philosophy. Why would it be necessary to philosophise in the received and verified codes? We do not want to add one philosophy to another, nor do we want to simply withdraw and retreat, but to produce "some" quasi-philosophy, even if it is in pieces, parts or fragments, or as a new spectrality rather than as a whiff of the old spectacle. Philosophy's spectrum of influence is still very narrow, perhaps it is possible to extend its spectrality, to vary its nuances. What is a fiction in the vicinity of philosophy, a philo-fiction? One of the ambitions of non-philosophy would be to create a new theoretical genre, philo-fiction, with its related political, ethical and artistic effects. Another combination of science and fiction, less literary perhaps, more conceptual, less naively technological and more theoretical, coming to "accomplish" the old Law of philosophy rather than negate it...
Still, it would be necessary to possess the key to spectral invention and to look towards science. The difficulty of the non-philosophical imperative is obvious, how to overcome the Platonic aporias of philosophical knowledge? Why not go as far as a certain term already practiced elsewhere, as far as philosophers "without" works, that is to say works of a certain non-action. Can we imagine non-philosophers who would put their energy into inventing their impotence to invent? Why, after all, should we not make our impotence a work or a doctrine? By definition, it is not up to us to formulate a generic imperative, or even recipes, but neither do we want to make rebellious wills despair; that would be an ideal of politics. We must look for models in other practices, sciences, literature, science fiction, there are a minimum of processes or means to get started, flaws or interstices of philosophy in the past, current excesses, playful aspects, bricolages, parallel philosophies today. The ideal is obviously to introduce a certain rigour of rules, and to provide an example of reflection on the conditions of invention. But perhaps the term non-philosophy poses too many problems, produces too many scares or smiles, so "non-standard philosophy" would be just as meaningful and more open, but always on the basis of a closure or a decidedly inevitable "no".
