| Résumé : | Isabelle Stengers’ thought revolves around a strange demand: we must take care of our abstractions. She finds this demand in Whitehead’s philosophy, which she takes up in a singular and original way. Taking care of our abstractions implies two things: First, to diagnose our contemporary experience, the abstractions that govern our ways of thinking and have contributed to the modernist legacy. Second, to explore other modes of abstraction that would enable us to deploy the multiple forms of experience in a different way and reweave the links broken by the incessant bifurcations of modern thought. This question of abstraction, as I have tried to show in this chapter, is at the heart of aesthetic questions, where it implies both a resistance to the bifurcation between nature and experience, fact and value, and existence and aesthetics, opening up a new field on the varieties of aesthetic experience in nature. |
