Abstract: [eng] Nash versus Von Neumann and Morgenstern : continuity or rift in recent game theory history. This paper considers the relationship between, on the one hand, Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour (TGEB) published in 1994, and, on the other hand, Nash's works which were issued around the fifties and originated the non cooperative games. This comparison demonstrates that Nash's contribution is neither complementary to TGEB nor a counter-example. However, their content cannot be understood without referring to von Neumann and Morgenstern's seminal book. [fre] L'article étudie les relations entre Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour (TGEB) publiée en 1944 et les travaux de Nash parus au début des années cin­quante qui sont à l'origine des jeux non coopératifs. La confrontation des textes permet de conclure que les contributions de NASH ne sont ni un complément à TGEB, ni le point de départ d'un contre-programme. NASH propose des réponses à des questions absentes de TGEB. Mais leur formulation resterait inintelligible sans la référence à l'ouvrage de von Neumann et Morgenstern.
