I.4. Is the search for a new alliance with nature driven by the crisis of meaning?

Оглавление

Three centuries of unrivaled dominance by the coupling of mathematics and physics at the heart of the classical scientific revolution (Newtonian physics) led to a large-scale cultural, civilizational and philosophical revolution. But overall, the third millennium will be quantum and biological or it will be nothing. It will proceed from a science of the complex where everything is connected, and be governed by infinite precaution, the alliance with nature and the end of mechanistic and reductionist vision, faced with the quantum mystery. For the living world is an immense patchwork, a tangle of organized, ordered complexities, synchronous and asynchronous ecorithms (Valiant 2013). It is irreducible, because any attempt to define a locality based on a formal construction which characterizes it immediately encounters the influence of the non-local or, on the nanometric scale, the quantum mystery where everything is connected to it.

And what if it were enough to listen to the living world? If we look closely, these structures mimicking the living world emerge everywhere as forms of imperfect responses, a patchwork yet promising in their capacity to regenerate meaning and hope. Thus, this bio-mimicry of the systemic organizations of the living world towards which we would migrate would be a solution emerging from within the living world. And this would apply not only for our models of human interworking, our social organizations, but also for the technological object itself, which could enter a new era, that of the alliance with nature rather than its exploitation without limits and its outright reduction for our own ends. It is about mimicking nature (biomimicry) and developing with it contributory, lasting and regenerative “complicities”, including a reinvention of technosciences as a cultural object.
