Abstract

The chapter examines the distinctions between nature and culture, or nature and artifice. These are not equivalent distinctions; they draw a triangle. Thus, the erasure of the distinction between the natural and the artificial establishes a continuous segment between these two poles, without leading to the absorption of one into the other (erasure by artificialization, or by naturalization: this duality of solutions shows the persistence of dualism, even as one envisages its disappearance). This passage from two to three obeys the principle of the three musketeers (which, are four). It paves the way for indefinite plurality. One can go from three to four, adding, to the triangle of nature/artifact/culture, the plurality of culture; we are faced with an indefinite plurality of humans and non-humans. This should allow the re-encompassing patterns of domination, and the development of patterns of cooperation, which are not based on a rigid separation between praxis and poiesis.
