Synopsis: Nous sODBlles a. une epoque 011 les programmes spatiaux connaissent, en depit de difficultes passageres, une activite croissante. Leur succes depend de la maitrise d'un grand nombre de technologies qui de ce fait focalisent l'attention de la plupart des acteurs spatiaux. Toutefois, parallelement, cette nouvelle aventure nous touche aussi de plus en plus, nous les humains. D I abord, parce que nous sODBlles les bene- ficiaires, sur Ie plan qualite de la vie (sante, telecoDBllunications, etc ...) des techniques spatiales mais aussi parce que de plus en plus les humains vont progressivement etendre leur presence dans l'es- pace. Pour Ie moment, Ie role des astronautes est essentiellement d I etre des "travailleurs de 1 I espace" plus efficaces que les robots les plus perfectionnes. Mais inevitablement l'aspect proprement humain de ces hODBlles et de ces femmes ressurgi t : d I abord pour eux- memes, mais aussi pour nous car, par Ie jeu des processus d I identification, ils emportent avec eux une parcelle d 'humanite et donc de nous-meme. Il n I est donc pas inutile de reflechir a. ces questions et Ie but du present colloque etait de Ie faire de maniere approfondie en faisant appel a. des professionnels, c'est-a.-dire les philosophes et les penseurs des sciences humalnes. "La philosophie a. 1 I epreuve", tel est Ie sous-ti tre de ce colloque. Mais de quelle philosophie s'agit-il ? Ce terme peut renvoyer a.
