CartBernard Stiegler’s Thought on Technics Instructor: Franziska Aigner Date & Time: February 19, 26, March 5, 12 09:00-11:30 ET
DESCRIPTION: The twentieth century witnessed an upsurge of European philosophical thought on technics, addressing the domains of skills, tools, instruments, and machines as the scientific meta-discourse on technology. Among the array of perspectives, the work of late French philosopher Bernard Stiegler stands out as one of the most lucid and fruitful contributions. This Seminar performs a close reading of Stiegler’s thinking about technics. Following an introduction to Heidegger and Simondon’s work in the first Session, each of the upcoming Sessions will explore a book in Stiegler’s Technics and Time Vol 1-3 series, inquiring into the reading of the history of philosophy undertaken by Stiegler, as well as the horizon for future thought on technics, opening up beyond Stiegler’s lucid philosophical interventions.
The Seminar will take place in English and work with the English translations of Stiegler’s series, published by Stanford University Press:
• Stiegler, B., 1998. Technics and Time, 1: The Fault of Epimetheus. Translated by Beardsworth R., Collins G. Stanford: Standford University Press.
