Abstract: There are so many different “definitions” about degrowth … The one proposed by Edgar Morin is “an art of rebalancing what has to grow, to degrow and to be stabilized”. We will look on this idea through a complexe thinking and simple acting perspective, crossing three interesting paradoxes: • Globalization / localization • Occidentalization/pluralization • Development / Envelopment Degrowth as an Art of rebalancing means to take in consideration - in the same time and on different levels - those three mentioned paradoxes allowing seeing -and acting on- what has to grow, to degrow and to be stabilized.
Keywords: complexe thinking, growth, degrowth , stabilization.
