Abstract
Depuis une dizaine d’années, une discipline appelée « philosophie des psychédéliques » émerge dans la recherche internationale anglophone. Cet article propose de replacer cette nouvelle orientation philosophique dans le contexte plus large et interdisciplinaire des psychedelic studies, de revenir sur l’histoire des liens entre philosophie et psychédéliques ainsi que d’étudier les différentes orientations épistémologiques possibles de ce mode d’interrogation. Il constitue également la première synthèse en français des travaux issus de ce champ, dont il illustre l’éclectisme (métaphysique, éthique, philosophie politique, esthétique) et le dynamisme.
