Abstract

Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen est connu à la fois pour sa contribution essentielle à l'analyse économique traditionnelle et pour sa volonté de fonder une approche bioéconomique. En nous appuyant sur la Méthodologie des Programmes de Recherche Scientifique de Lakatos et sur la réconciliation qu'il propose entre « histoire interne » et « histoire externe » des sciences, nous tentons de réévaluer la tentative de Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen de fonder un nouveau programme de recherche. Nous concluons en montrant l'échec de cette tentative.
