Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Few thinkers have been as influential upon current discussions and theoretical practices in the age of media archaeology, philosophy of technology, and digital humanities as the French thinker Gilbert Simondon. Simondons prolific intellectual curiosity led his philosophical and scientific reflections to traverse a variety of areas of research, including philosophy, psychology, the beginnings of cybernetics, and the foundations of religion. For Simondon, the human/machine distinction is perhaps not a simple dichotomy. There is much we can learn from our technical objects, and while it has been said that humans have an alienating rapport with technical objects, Simondon takes up the task of a true thinker who sees the potential for humanity to uncover lifeaffirming modes of technical objects whereby we can discover potentiality for novel, healthful, and disalienating rapports with them. For Simondon, by way of studying its genesis, one must grant to the technical object the same ontological status as that of the aesthetic object or even a living being. His work thus opens up exciting new entry points into studying the humans rapport with its continually changing technical reality. This first complete Englishlanguage translation of Gilbert Simondons groundbreaking and influential work finally presents to Anglophone readers one of the pinnacle works of Frances most unique thinkers of technics.
