Marco Altamirano critiques the modern concept of nature to chart a
new trajectory for the philosophy of nature. He reveals the modern
origins of the epistemological configuration of nature, where a
subject confronts an object in space (and at time t), and wonders
about her mode of access to that object. After critiquing the
spatial orientation of this concept of nature, Altamirano shows
that a new concept of time is necessary to reinstall the subject
within its concrete ecology. Altamirano goes on to deploy
conceptual resources excavated from Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault and
Leroi-Gourhan to show how technology, which bypasses the
nature-artifice distinction, is an essential dimension of the
philosophy of nature. Ultimately, this book draws the profile of a
concept of nature based on time and technology that escapes the
nature-artifice distinction that has mired the philosophy of nature
for so long.
