This book offers an epistemological critique of the concept of the
individual and of individuality. It argues that because of our
bio(techno)logical entanglements with non-human others, billions of
microorganisms and our multiple (in)voluntary participations in
socio(techno)logical processes, we have to conceive of ourselves no
longer as individuals, but as dividuations. This dividual character
which enforces simultaneous and multidirectional participations in
different spheres is also apt for other living beings, for entities
such as the nation state, for single cultures, production processes
and works of art. The critique of individuality in the book is also
elaborated in critical re-readings of classical philosophical texts
from Plato up to today; the new concept of dividuation is a
modified and semantically enriched version of certain concepts of
the French philosophers Gilbert Simondon and Gilles Deleuze.
