Abstract

Isabelle Stengers’ thinking is sensitive, limpid, and complex. Her vision of living worlds is based on the philosophy of becoming and multiplicity. Becoming refers to a living change and therefore to an absence of permanence and natural laws to which we must adapt. Multiplicity refers to several regimes of truth, several types of reason, several modes of existence. Her knowledge universe is made up of several sets of beings and things where thought navigates fluidly between the fields of study. A torrent of freedom that opens up new avenues for overcoming confinement and expanding action. This exploration of the ecology of practices provides the opportunity to address economic life, beyond the confines of academic discipline, as an open field that should be constantly widened through investigation by establishing the conditions of existence.
