Jean C. Baudet is a Belgian philosopher and writer, born in Brussels (May 31, 1944) and died in Laeken (July 18, 2021).




Life


J.C. Baudet taught philosophy and history of science, from 1966 to 1973, in Africa (Congo, Burundi).
From 1973 to 1978, he was a biology researcher (agronomy faculty of Gembloux, Belgium, and Université de Paris-VI).
In 1978, he was the founder of the periodical Technologia (history of Science-Technics-Industry).
Since 1996, he has been an editor of the Revue Générale (Bruxelles). The philosophical system developed by J.C. Baudet is known as editology.




Science-Technics-Industry


Science-Technics-Industry (STI) is a philosophical concept proposed by the Belgian philosopher Jean C. Baudet. The objective of STI is to distinguish rational cultural productions from emotional or imaginary ones. Emotional and imaginary cultural productions lead to ideologies and/or ethical and politically illusive constructions. STI is a key concept in editology. It may be seen as an elaborate philosophical generalization of the economic notion of science and industry. In the STI, technics are the interface between science and industry, and thus between knowledge (truth) and practice (efficiency).




Editology


Editology (in French: éditologie) is the epistemological system developed by Baudet. The main characteristic of the editology is to define the knowledge as a set of texts, discourses (and thus terms), and to assign the scientificity of those texts to the very conditions of their edition - the manner they are accepted by the international scientific community. It has two purposes: understand the terms (terminology) and analyze the edition (editology sensu stricto).
This philosophical approach leads to a conception of the knowledge (an truth) which admits that the hard core of rationalism (logic) is the epistemological complex STI (Science-Technics-Industry). An important consequence of the editological thought is to establish an historical critic of the successive discourses which characterize the milestones of the human thinking: literature, religion, and later philosophy. In that sense, philosophy is defined as a discourse rejecting all the discourses.
