Abstract
In front of the ecological disaster, new forms of engagement give great importance to the practice of inquiring. Based on interviews conducted with people involved in raising awareness on ecological issues, we thus highlight a day-to-day activism, whose protagonists subject their lifestyles to a permanent scrutinity, but also the very criterion of their valuations: what ecology means. Such a commitment thwarts the common dissociation between ethics and politics. The investigations of these activists, driven by a more practical than cognitive passion, are indeed also inhabited by the horizon of a common world and the production of irreversibilities within our forms of life.
