Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Wolfgang Kohler (1887-1967), experimentateur hors pair et theoricien inventif, directeur du prestigieux Institut de Psychologie de Berlin sous la Republique de Weimar, est un peu oublie aujourd’hui. A l’origine d’un des courants majeurs de la psychologie au XXe siecle avec ses amis de l’ecole de Berlin, Kurt Koffka et Max Wertheimer, on lui doit la version la plus accomplie de la Gestalttheorie (Theorie de la Forme, de la Figure, de la Structure…), theorie generale de la cognition, fondee sur le primat de la perception, en meme temps que theorie universelle des formes, ayant vocation a valoir dans une pluralite de champs de connaissance. Pionnier des recherches sur l’intelligence des primates, Kohler est aussi l’auteur d’une theorie qui, pour la premiere fois, jette un pont entre phenomenologie et physique, entre l’experience vecue et l’ordre decrit par les sciences de la matiere. Deux leitmotivs reviennent a travers toute son oeuvre: l’unite de la perception, de l’action, et de l’expression, et la continuite entre organisation physique, forme, et sens. On s’attache ici a restituer les grandes articulations et les principaux apports de cette oeuvre, qui mobilise plusieurs registres (mathematiques, physique des formes, anthropologie generale), pour en montrer la pertinence face au behaviorisme et a la psychologie introspectionniste; a la situer (ainsi que ses prolongements contemporains) dans le contexte des neurosciences montantes; a indiquer ce que pourrait etre sa contribution au difficile debat en cours entre les sciences cognitives et les sciences de la culture.
