The Thought of Bernard Stiegler: Capitalism, Technology and the Politics of Spirit: Media, Culture and Critique: Future Imperfect
Autor Ross Abbinnetten Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 iul 2017
A study of the reciprocal development of technical instruments and human faculties, that offers a chapter-by-chapter account of how this relationship is played out in the digital, informatic and biotechnological programmes of hyperindustrial society, The Thought of Bernard Stiegler develops Stiegler’s idea of technology as a pharmakon: a network of systems that provoke both existential despair and unprecedented modes of aesthetic, literary and philosophical creativity that can potentially revitalize the political culture of human beings.
As such, it will appeal to social and political theorists and philosophers concerned with our postmodern inheritance.

Recenzii
‘Bernard Stiegler is one of the most interesting philosophers of technology writing today and the student of Derrida of greatest relevance to the contemporary cultural scene. However, Stiegler's work has been so far available in English only in piecemeal form. Ross Abbinnett remedies that problem in this book, which provides a patient and thoughtful reconstruction of Stiegler's entire intellectual trajectory. Here readers will acquire a deep and systematic sense of Stiegler's broad conception of 'technology', which ranges from Plato's extended dream state, through the accelerated pace of modern industrial society, to the potential eclipse of the human spirit in the name of digital dexterity. Those who seek a middle way between embracing and refusing this 'transhumanizing' trajectory will find much insight in this book.’ - Steve Fuller, Auguste Comte Chair in Social Epistemology, University of Warwick, UK
Descriere
This book provides a comprehensive account of the work of Bernard Stiegler, focusing on his thought on hyperindustrial societies and the development of technological systems through which the social, economic and political life of human beings has been transformed. Exploring the reciprocal development of technical instruments and human faculties in the digital, informatic and biotechnological programmes of hyperindustrial societies, the author develops Stiegler’s idea of technology as a Pharmakon: a network of systems that provoke both existential despair and unprecedented modes of aesthetic, literary and philosophical creativity that can potentially revitalize political culture.
