Interrogating the work of four contemporary French philosophers to
rethink philosophy’s relationship to science and science’s
relationship to reality The Technique of Thought explores the
relationship between philosophy and science as articulated in the
work of four contemporary French thinkers—Jean-Luc Nancy,
François Laruelle, Catherine Malabou, and Bernard Stiegler.
Situating their writings within both contemporary scientific
debates and the philosophy of science, Ian James elaborates a
philosophical naturalism that is notably distinct from the
Anglo-American tradition. The naturalism James proposes also
diverges decisively from the ways in which continental philosophy
has previously engaged with the sciences. He explores the technical
procedures and discursive methods used by each of the four thinkers
as distinct “techniques of thought” that approach scientific
understanding and knowledge experimentally. Moving beyond
debates about the constructed nature of scientific knowledge, The
Technique of Thought argues for a strong, variably configured, and
entirely novel scientific realism. By bringing together
post-phenomenological perspectives concerning individual or
collective consciousness and first-person qualitative experience
with science’s focus on objective and third-person quantitative
knowledge, James tracks the emergence of a new image of the
sciences and of scientific practice. Stripped of aspirations
toward total mastery of the universe or a “grand theory of
everything,” this renewed scientific worldview, along with the
simultaneous reconfiguration of philosophy’s relationship to
science, opens up new ways of interrogating immanent reality.
