This combination of historiography and theory offers the growing
Anglophone readership interested in the ideas of Gilbert Simondon a
thorough and unprecedented survey of the French philosopher's
entire oeuvre. The publication, which breaks new ground in its
thoroughness and breadth of analysis, systematically traces the
interconnections between Simondon's philosophy of science and
technology on the one hand, and his political philosophy on the
other. The author sets Simondon's ideas in the context of the
epistemology of the late 1950s and the 1960s in France, the milieu
that shaped a generation of key French thinkers such as Deleuze,
Foucault and Derrida. This volume explores Simondon's sources,
which were as eclectic as they were influential: from the
philosophy of Bergson to the cybernetics of Wiener, from the
phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty to the epistemology of Canguilhem,
and from Bachelard's philosophy of science to the positivist
sociology and anthropology of luminaries such as Durkheim and
Leroi-Gourhan. It also tackles aspects of Simondon's philosophy
that relate to Heidegger and Elull in their concern with the
ontological relationship between technology and society and
discusses key scholars of Simondon such as Barthelemy, Combes,
Stiegler, and Virno, as well as the work of contemporary
protagonists in the philosophical debate on the relevance of
technique. The author's intimate knowledge of Simondon's language
allows him to resolve many of th e semantic errors and
misinterpretations that have plagued reactions to Simondon's many
philosophical neologisms, often drawn from his scientific studies.
