3. Possibilité et nécessité de pensées interdisciplinaires en temps de crise

Main Article Content
Abstract
La croyance en la possibilité d’une pluri ou multi disciplinarité fondée sur une juxtaposition des divers regards disciplinaires est largement répandue. Cette démarche est source d’illusions notamment parce que des échelles différentes d’analyse sont utilisées (macro, méso, micro). Elle est surtout dangereuse quand elle occulte une nécessaire interrogation sur les hypothèses fondamentales et les méthodes constituant les objets de recherche par chaque discipline, voire les courants de celles-ci. Par ce recul critique et relativiste, l’interdisciplinarité permet d’appréhender les limites de chacune des parcelles de la connaissance et de comprendre comment les différents savoirs (re)construisent ce que nous tenons pour des réalités. Le doute introduit par la crise quant à l’efficacité de certains savoirs disciplinaires facilite la mise en cause des positions dogmatiques et la reconnaissance des limites de chacun des regards.
English Title and Abstract
Possibility and Necessity of Interdisciplinary Thoughts in Times of Crisis
The belief in the possibility of a pluri-disciplinary or multi-disciplinary approach, as based on the juxtaposition of various disciplinary perspectives, is widely spread. Yet this tenet is a source of illusions, in particular since different scales (macro, meso, micro) are used in analysis. It is especially dangerous when it obfuscates a much needed interrogation on the fundamental hypotheses and methods that in each discipline constitute its research objectsand its ramifications. Taking a step back to a both critical and relativistic point of view, interdisciplinarity makes it possible to grasp the limits of each domain of knowledge, as well as to understand how different types of knowledge (re)construct what we deem to be real. The crisis introduces doubts as to the effectiveness of certain disciplinary knowledge, that make it easier to question dogmatic positions and to recognize the limits of each vantage point.
