The well-known Le Chatelier principle in chemistry describes how a system behaves when subject to an external effect. The way this principle works in conservative and dissipative systems was discussed within the framework of phase space. The Le Chatelier principle was restated in a more generalized form in such a way that it now becomes an underlying principle of many natural phenomena. The Lenz law in electromagnetism and deformations of materials were treated within this context. The increase of entropy and the adaptability of biological organisms in evolution were also discussed from the standpoint point of view of the generalized principle.

En chimie, le principe bien connu de Le Chatelier décrit la façon dont un système se comporte lorsqu'il est soumis à un effet externe. La manière dont ce principe fonctionne dans les systèmes conservatifs et dissipatifs a été discutée dans le cadre de l'espace des phases. Le principe de Le Chatelier a été reformulé dans une forme plus généralisée de manière à devenir un principe sous-jacent à de nombreux phénomènes naturels. La loi de Lenz en électromagnétisme et les déformations de matériaux ont été traitées dans ce contexte. L'augmentation de l'entropie et l'adaptabilité des organismes biologiques dans l'évolution ont aussi été discutées du point de vue du principe généralisé.

Key words: Le Chatelier–Braun; Chemical Equilibrium; Lenz Law; Entropy; Deformation; Adaptability; Evolution.
