ABSTRACT
Generic epistemology offers new spaces of reflection and brings into play new practices – between sciences, between sciences and philosophies, between knowledge and non-knowledge. In this chapter, the authors think generic epistemology in order to understand and to evolve representations of science, the relations between disciplines, relations with other areas of knowledge, and to somewhat pacify the current situation. A generic epistemology supposes fundamental changes in the way they think the sciences their logics, their objects as well as disciplinary. The authors attempt to give an idea of what they believe is a change of paradigm; but this time a change without crisis, because it is not a matter of surpassing a "normal science". The central idea of the chapter is that without a thinking of these three terms, heterogeneity, genericity and sites of interdiscipline, the authors end up with agonistic models of science.
