Foresight

After the global health crisis of VIDOC-19, what would be our greatest risk? The philosopher Hannah Arendt said, "A crisis only becomes catastrophic if we respond to it with preconceived ideas. Indeed, the risk would be to resume our lives on the same basis as before,

Governments are overwhelmed by the health crisis and its social and economic consequences, the worst to come, in a context of widespread protest. In public opinion and on social networks, appeals are appearing - is this a conscience? - that the day after the crisis

The accumulation of economic crises would tell us something about our imagination, which is so powerful in determining our actions, prevailing over the rationality of our decision-making. Recognizing its influence also means holding the keys to recovery, renewal, recovery, and understanding that it is the engine for

When the transition to a new world becomes a topical issue and world views collide, it is time to mobilize our imaginations. We need to reinvent tomorrow by taking into account the plurality of possibilities. And to do this, we need to co-create narratives that bring together

Second volume of a series of three syntheses. After the history of foresight, the issues of foresight today are addressed here. What are the issues at stake? One observation comes immediately to mind: foresight, particularly in France, has remained almost fixed on concepts and methods that have hardly changed.

If it challenges us, what does science fiction have to say? Like painting, is it "pure emotion" or "accumulation of meaning", or both? In what way does this modern imaginary allow us to translate reality (in the sense of Lacan and not Benveniste) into the "pure emotion" or "accumulation of meaning", or both?

Foresight 1- historical foundations: First volume of a series of three syntheses. In this one, the bases of the prospective: history, evolution, objectives, tools, devices. In the context of the renewal of foresight under the impetus of local authorities, it seems important to better define its current project, with regard to

The progress of science today leaves our societies with the feeling of being at a crossroads: technological breakthroughs are announced (nanotechnologies, synthetic biology, etc.) at a time when our models of economic growth seem destined to come up against the physical and environmental limits of the planet.

Is foresight capable of influencing the future in a way that promotes what is desirable? Foresight was born in the thought of a man, Gaston Berger, who was confronted with the difficulties of elaborating public decision making. Since then, French and Anglo-Saxon schools have diverged, but continue to share an optimistic conviction: the future can

In Misery of Historicism (1945), Karl Popper states: "The future course of history is unpredictable. "In "SF and Experimentation", Isabelle Stengers seems to argue the opposite (Hottois, Philosophy and SF, 2000).

"If science becomes fiction, it has to be the science of tomorrow, and that means that fiction can anticipate science. But if it is chained to the unleashing of science, it does not have the power to chain science, hence its lack of seriousness. "Nathalie
