English summary: This volume seeks to clarify the American and Belgian roots of technoscience in the 1970s through the publication of Philosophie et future, one of the first French texts to use science fiction as an inspiration and illustration of philosophical reflection. It also seeks to encourage the reading of science fiction because of its philosophical pertinence, its provocation of wonder in search of rational explanations. As a document, science fiction is relevant for the study of the evolution of representations of science and techniques and their place in society. French description: Le present ouvrage a pour fins de : – clarifier l’origine du terme technoscience et l’evolution de son usage. La technoscience a deux origines independantes qui remontent aux annees 1970 : anglaise (americaine) et francaise (belge). – Rendre accessible un texte fondateur qui n’avait jamais encore ete publie integralement : Philosophie et futur (1976), probablement un des premiers textes francais qui utilise la litterature de science-fiction comme source d’inspiration et d’illustration pour la reflexion philosophique. – Encourager la lecture et l’etude de la sciencefiction, passee et actuelle, en raison de sa pertinence pour le questionnement et la reflexion philosophiques. La science-fiction suscite et developpe le sens de l’etonnement, de l’emerveillement a la recherche d’une explication rationnelle; elle favorise aussi la capacite de distanciation. Elle offre un tresor d’experiences de pensee qui interpellent les chercheurs en philosophie autant qu’en sciences humaines. En tant que document, la science-fiction est pertinente pour l’etude de l’evolution des representations et images de la science et des techniques ainsi que de leur place dans la societe au fil du XXe siecle. – Illustrer l’interet de la notion de technoscience comme outil heuristique pour la lecture critique de la science-fiction.
