(1) Since the 17th century, modern science has developed in a context of naturalist worlding that favors its hegemony over other modes of existence and its paradigm of a quest to define the laws of nature. (2) Various manifestations attest to the emergence of a paradigm of knowledge diversity and the unravelling of the naturalist worlding. (3) The current boom in participatory science is a sign of this paradigm shift: through the fundamental changes to the Earth System that refer to it, the Anthropocene forces science to move towards action and interact with a society involved in adapting to changes and concerned with the threats to its territory's habitability. specialized 021ENVECO 116RESCI 355 S1 363-380 2023 1631-0713 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010088443 10.5802/crgeos.156 1631-0713 [F B010088443] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010088443 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2023-08/010088443.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2023-07-27 2025-02-24 fdi:010088443 fre
