The Boomerang Effect

In a society embodied by human action where will and power reign, we are not unaware that uncertainty is more than dominant. The action of the Man entering in an environment of interaction and feedback does not necessarily obey the intention which guides this action; as Morin says, waits for the unexpected. Today, Man suffers the consequences of his own actions. Adopting Descartes' wish to possess and domesticate nature, Man remains forever rather dependent on the nature he wanted to dominate. This book is a collection of texts that address, from multilateral themes, a fundamental problematic concerning the boomerang effect. It is a question for each of the authors, according to their philosophical thinking, of knowing if Man has become a slave to his actions.
