Résumé : How can philosophy contribute to understanding the complex web of interdependencies that characterize our world? Didier Debaise, a leading voice in speculative philosophy and environmental thought, invites participants to reimagine the concept of interdependency in a workshop that draws on his work with Isabelle Stengers. This event explores how contemporary philosophical tools, particularly those inspired by process philosophy and relational ontologies, can illuminate the dynamics of energy, matter, and life. Aligned with the ENERGY project’s commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, the workshop seeks to challenge anthropocentric paradigms by examining energy as a connective force that transcends human and non-human divides. Debaise will lead discussions on how energy flows are not merely resources to be exploited but integral to a mesh of relations that sustain life, communities, and ecosystems. Participants will engage with philosophical frameworks that rethink causality, agency, and temporality to address urgent environmental and ethical challenges. Drawing connections between philosophy, ecology, and energy studies, the workshop aims to foster a collaborative space where new ideas about coexistence and mutual dependency can emerge.
