Distinguishing non-knowledge. Japp, K. P. Canadian Journal of sociology, 25(2):225–238, 2000. 1abstract bibtex In the following essay, reference is made to the ambivalent position of non-knowledge between ensuring the production of scientific knowledge and risky decision-making. It will also be shown that this ambivalence is the result of system-internal operations and not of external facts, on which "incomplete constructivism" essentially depends. Finally, it is shown that the concept of risk marks the interface where modern society oscillates between experience (cognition) and action (risk) and that even this state is due to its own operations and not to an overall insight into some better option. Basically, the argument of this article demonstrates fundamental modes of framing uncertainty in modern society. /// L'auteur se penche sur la place ambivalente du non-savoir entre la production de connaissances scientifiques et la prise de décision à risque. Il montre que cette ambivalence est le résultat d'opérations propres au système et non pas de facteurs externes – d'un "constructivisme inachevé". Il conclut que la notion de risque caractérise cette interface où la société moderne oscille entre l'expérience (cognition) et l'action (risque); et que cette situation est le produit de fonctionnements internes plutôt que d'une perception ou d'une représentation d'ensemble d'options meilleures. En bref, le présent article relève des modes d'appréhension de l'incertitude dans la société d'aujourd'hui.
