LA MATIÈRE ET L’ESPRIT L’imaginaire du bouledogue « À notre époque, c’est comme ça », « Aujourd’hui, il n’y a pas le choix », « On est obligé d’agir ainsi » sont autant d’expressions d’un argument qui se prétend réaliste et clôt toutes délibérations. Cet argument consiste à affirmer qu’une seule solution est possible car une seule correspondrait à un ordre des choses, implacable et nécessaire. Le débat, dès lors, ne sert plus à choisir entre plusieurs voies, il n’est que la forme polie du cheminement vers le fait accompli. Au-delà de l’ineptie de cette thèse, qui confond le fait et le droit, remarquons la méchanceté et la bêtise de ce pseudo-réalisme. Méchant d’abord car il veut ridiculiser l’adversaire, pris pour l’idiot du village, incapable de prendre en compte la réalité. L’argument s’exprime d’ailleurs avec une moue de dédain, ensuite l’homme réaliste taque ses papiers, les dispose bien droit et c’est tranché. Mais ce réalisme a oublié l’essentiel : le rôle déterminant de notre imaginaire. Car comme l’affirme le philosophe Castoriadis : « C’est parce qu’il y a imaginaire ( ) instituant du collectif qu’il y a pour nous réalité tout court et telle réalité ».
