Résumé anglais In response to Pr. Le Moigne's paper, my contribution stresse the originality and importance of Simon's approch to decision making in terms of bounded rationality. There is no doubt that any interesting view of rational decision-making should take into account the procedural aspects of human cognitive processes stressed by the simonian school. Nevetheless, it is here argued, the very principle of "satifiyng", at the heart of Simon'sview, in perhaps less... satisfactary than his followers usually claim. This paper tries to argue that a doctrine of imperfect rationality, grounded in the popperian concept of "situational analysis", can cope with some of the simonian intuitions without taking the radical step of abandonning the useful instrument of optimization.
