Cosmopolitiques

Cosmoplitiques is a Revue of theoretical books for the ecology policy.

The ecology and them approaches ecologists opened an immense building site of questioning of presupposed of the Modernisme, all the researchers recognize it. However, its theoretical developments remain limited to some precursors (Illitch, Jonas, Charbonneau) and are hardly diffused even within the mobility of the ecology policy. There do not exist coherent references to mitigate the crisis of the models which irrigated the left during one century. Largely criticized paradigms, the Marxism in particular, remain often determining in the ordinary references of the ecologists, who are constrained to think all problems (cultures, policies, economic models, solidarity, etc) with grids which already showed their limits.

It is necessary for that to fall under the current debates of the Social sciences while being pressed on the theoretical currents likely to be in phase with a political project radical, reformist and democratic. The radicality of the approach ecologist is dissociated from the two opposite postures most frequent, the theories of the reproduction and those of the methodological Individualisme. It finds an echo in many currents which involved important ruptures: theories of conventions, the Sociology of sciences and technology and the innovation (Michel Callon, Bruno Latour), the approaches institutionnalists, socio-subjective approaches of Guattari, the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze or Isabelle Stengers.
