| Summary: | This text proposes a Prospective approach to work to contribute to desirable futures responding to the challenges of the Anthropocene. To this end, we present the reasons why work can help meet these challenges. We then evoke how it inherits from the Prospective founded by Gaston Berger, before reporting on the essential contributions of Ernst Bloch, thinker of concrete utopias, to think of alternatives. Finally, we describe John Dewey’s lessons on understanding the links between action and changes. We present the spirit of this approach and its stages, based on an action-research carried out in an experimental unit. We conclude by discussing the paradigm shift that this leads to in Ergonomics.
