| Course contents : | Efficiency : norms and knowledge
Efficiency seems to have become a key plank of the contemporary world as it actually occupies the normative sphere. Can we make efficiency the primary purpose of a policy and of a philosophy?
First, we will isolate some phenomena of the contemporary world where the production of knowledge and norms is designed entirely from its efficiency : the management of academia by the evaluation, the development of smart environments and activities of profiling , the tendancy to turn companies into responsible political actors, as vectors of diffusion of human rights and democratic ideas. What changes in the nature of the norm and in the nature of knowledge result from this new form of government entirely focused on its efficiency? A norm as a mere tendency, expressed in quota, momentary, constantly reformed, claiming it fits singularity actors to which it relates, is that still a norm? A knowledge produced automatically whose first criterion is the alount of data that allows it to emerge, it that still knowledge, whatever objective that knowledge is? Is not the efficiency of a standard or a knowledge only the self-referred success of the process?
On the other hand, we will try to put forward some of the major efforts of philosophers to think that question through. What is this European way - highlighted by François Jullien in his detour through China - of modeling, that way of thinking efficiency as the match between ends and means? What is the efficiency of mathematics (the unreasonable heuristic efficiency of mathematical physics)? How does legal philosophy deal with the question of efficiency? How the philosophy of language has helped to highlight the question of the success of a statement?
