Critical Philosophy of Innovation and the Innovator
The major innovations which have occurred between the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century represent a fresh challenge to the responsibility of innovators. Innovators have disrupted, and continue to disrupt the world through the growth of technology, DNA sequencing, genetic engineering, the management of large databases, different forms of intrusion into our private lives, etc. It is up to them take full responsibility for their actions, and question what they are accomplishing, why they are accomplishing it, to what end and with what means. Such questionings are those found in a practice conducted by Ancient philosophers: spiritual exercises. These were internal or external discourses, enabling individuals to act, think, to know how to behave and how to master oneself. It is surely toward these practices innovators of today should turn in order to innovate with wisdom.
Toward Responsible Innovation: Responsibility And Philosophy For A Humanely Sustainable Future
For fifty years, innovations have taken on a new dimension: the Internet, DNA sequencing, genomic manipulations, advances in transhumanism, nanotechnologies ... and much more. These recent innovations are not without addressing new issues whose consequences are as important as irreversible. The innovator, of whom Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg are emblematic contemporary figures, appears as a personality as brilliant as he is destructive, who aspires to change the world regardless of the violence that may ensue. With this then, emerges the need to establish responsible innovation, in which the innovator should be accountable for his actions and review his position as a hero. To establish this new ethic, philosophy is a necessary recourse, since it questions, among other things, the self-control of the Stoics, the prudence of Aristotle, respect of Kant, the will power of Nietzsche and the power of Foucault.
L'innovation à l'épreuve de la philosophie
Depuis cinquante ans, les innovations ont pris une nouvelle dimension : Internet, séquençage de l’ADN, manipulations génomiques, avancées du transhumanisme, nanotechnologies... Ces innovations récentes ne sont pas sans adresser des problématiques nouvelles dont les conséquences sont aussi importantes qu’irréversibles. L’innovateur, dont Steve Jobs ou Mark Zuckerberg sont des figures contemporaines emblématiques, apparaît comme une personnalité aussi géniale que destructrice, qui ambitionne de changer le monde quelle que soit la violence qui découlera. Se dessine alors la nécessité d’établir une innovation-responsable, dans laquelle l’innovateur devrait rendre compte de ses actes et revoir sa position de héros. Pour établir cette nouvelle éthique, la philosophie est un recours nécessaire, puisqu’elle interroge entre autres la maîtrise de soi des stoïciens, la prudence d’Aristote, le respect de Kant, la volonté de puissance de Nietzsche et le pouvoir de Foucault.

Philosophie critique de l’innovation et de l’innovateur
Les innovateurs ont-ils conscience de leurs rôles ? Ne sont-ils pas écrasés par une pensée trop capitaliste et ultra-libérale de l’innovation ? À partir de la philosophie, il est possible de concevoir l’innovation dans une perspective différente, en dehors des catégories habituelles des sciences de l’ingénieur et du management. C’est avec elle que l’innovation peut être (re)pensée pour être plus responsable, éthique et humaniste, car la philosophie est autant curative que préventive, autant cathartique que thérapeutique. Trois axes de réflexion sont proposés : un premier s’attache, avec la philosophie non-standard, à mettre à l’épreuve l’essence de l’inn...
Spiritual Exercises and Early Modern Philosophy
In his renowned collection Philosophy as a Way of Life, Pierre Hadot suggests that the original aspect of philosophy as a method by which one exercises oneself to achieve a new way of living and seeing the world fails with the rise of modernity. In that period, philosophy becomes increasingly theoretical, tending toward a system. However, Hadot himself glimpses at the dawn of modernity some instances of the original aspect of philosophy still very much present, and in his wake, Michel Foucault warns that between the late 16th and early 17th centuries the philosophical question of the reform of the mind attests to a still very close link between asceticism and access to truth. This book aims ...
